Greenpoint-based Broadway Stages will create what is said to be the second-largest film and TV production complex outside of Hollywood after it renovates the closed Arthur Kill prison on Staten Island. The company plans to create a 69-acre complex larger than the City’s most spacious production lot, Steiner Studios in the old Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Broadway Stages will invest $20 million to create a movie backlot with five sound stages, and in the process create some 1500 jobs over the next five years.
