Studio City Louisiana press conference set

A press conference has been set for Monday morning to discuss Studio City Louisiana, a $325 million film and television studio that would be built near Port Allen. West Baton Parish officials are expected to release more details about the studio on U.S. 190 west of the Huey P. Long Bridge. The state Bond Commission approved funding for Studio City earlier this year. According to documents filed with the Bond Commission, the studio will take up 925,000 square feet and have an annual payroll of more than $100 million.

I don't think so, but I'll look into it. This would certainly be an impetus to develop one. We do have a gangbusters journalism school. Maybe they have a film/video component that could be expanded with this studio development.
