Villa Muse Proposed Film Studio Complex Austin, TX

Villa Muse is an incredibly ambitious film studio and housing community that is proposed to be built on an 1100 acre site near Austin, Texas. In order to make this development work, the Villa Muse developers are asking for some serious cooperation from the city of Austin. The building site lies on the outskirts of the Austin ETJ. The developers make the case that they need to be released from city of Austin development restrictions that would likely delay construction and increase costs. Since the development site is not currently in the city limits and is in an area that will likely not be otherwise developed for some significant period of time (so goes the argument) then it is in the best interests of the Austin area (future tax payments will be substantial if the development goes as planned and the studio infrastructure would help win back tens of millions of $$$ of film production lost to Louisiana and New Mexico due to aggressive film incentives from those states) to cut Villa Muse some slack and encourage this development. Tonight the citizens of Austin get a chance to hear the Villa Muse developers make their case. Should be interesting to see how this issue plays out.
