Vallejo officials eye scuttled Lucasfilm studio project

Three days later Vallejo officials react to the news, typical.

Who are the two lucky suitors ?

Mare Island would be perfect for a movie making company, new jobs, new tax money for the spenders in city hall, and deemed a clean industry by the environuts, now if the salt marsh harvest mouse will just keeps it's head down...........

I do not believe George had any plans to build his Studio within the old, never to be used again, dredge ponds.
Another loss of revenue for the residents of this town, all because of NIMBY'ism of a few!

that would be a good place for homeless tent city

Oh Oh, is there hope afterall?

KPIX 5 had a report @ 6 pm about the Grady Ranch project and according to their sources Mare Island/Vallejo may be in the running/considered.

Well, we know all about reports by media outlets, but maybe there is some truth to it!

ok everyone say a little prayer...
It could happen if they market Mare Island the right way and for the right dollar amount.

I hope this happens for Vallejo. George Lucas is pretty down-to-earth. While he eats at I-hop in San Rafael and watches movies at the local theaters, he may consider Vallejo. I just hope COV doesn't show it's arrogant side.

Wouldn't be surprised if Staff takes it out on the VIBers and reject Lucas Films because of the perceived slap in the face to them because of the participatory budget vote last night.

I hope not! If that attitude would rear its ugly head, I would hope a citizen groundswell would storm City Hall and set them straight!

the new majority made no friends in staff last night. except maybe their homegirl nimat, who was probably away from her desk anyway.

Davis and his prayer, that's all we need. Lennar should do the marketing, they always have the city's nod.

Get a deal done more jobs more money and more weed to smoke.

Hey, at least George could come and go by sailboat. And you know those creative types love weed.

I'm afraid most at City Hall are asleep at the wheel and couldn't market anything more sophisticated than an AM-PM minimart.
There's simply not enough brain power at City Hall to make what needs to happen happen.

....There should be a citizens oversight committee for shitty council.

Stop whining, do something!
