Fayette site for new Pinewood Studios rezoned

Fayette County commissioners unanimously approved Thursday night the rezoning of about 122 acres in central Fayette County, paving the way for the new film and television studios being built by a group of private investors on behalf of the British film company Pinewood Studios. The rezoning is a special business commercial classification that allows for film and tv studios. Pinewood Studio officials expect to apply for permits to begin construction on five buildings at the campus in April.
