LFL Abandons Marin County Digital Facility Plans

Posted By Mike on April 11, 2012

Back on Leap Day 2012, we reported that Lucasfilm's planned digital production facility planned for Marin County, CA had taken another step towards becoming a reality. Things have apparently changed drastically since then. SeattlePI.com (courtesy of the AP) now reports that LFL has abandoned their preferred location:

"We love working and living in Marin, but the residents of Lucas Valley have fought this project for 25 years, and enough is enough," the company said in a statement. "We have several opportunities to build the production stages in communities that see us as a creative asset, not as an evil empire."

LFL now plans on selling the land to a developer in hopes that low-income housing will be constructed on the proposed site. Click here for the full story.
