Will Areu, a Perry executive, told the board of the Georgia Department of Economic Development that Perry is working on a plan to expand its campus near Greenbriar Mall.
Perry, a director, writer, producer and director, has developed the “Madea” film series and television series including “Meet the Browns.”
The scope of the plans was not revealed, however Areu said Perry controls 30 acres adjacent to his 38-acre campus.
