Economic Development of Former Military Bases: Tyler Perry Studios
Manage episode 411540038 series 2829514
It's difficult to argue Tyler Perry's influence in the entertainment industry and Black media. Twenty-four feature films, 20 stage plays, 17 television shows, and two New York Times bestselling books. In this episode, Nimo and Jas uncover the impact of Tyler Perry Studios (TPS) and the physical footprint implications in Atlanta. TPS opened its 330 acres in 2019 after purchasing land that was the former Fort McPherson military base. Press play to hear:
- History of Fort McPherson and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) that led to closing multiple bases across the country
- Examples of other military base redevelopments, consistent themes, and community concerns
- A review of the benefits and consequences of Tyler Perry Studios over the past five years
