Hangar42 Studios: The Next Step in West Michigan Film
By Brandy Arnold
"Hangar42 Studios, which opened its doors to production this month, promises to continue the revolution of the West Michigan film industry.
The 450,000 square-feet structure located in Walker is being completely overhauled to serve as Michigan’s first fully financed major film studio.
The principals and investors behind Hangar42 are thinking big – physically and electronically. The group expects to create 50-60 administrative jobs and 750-1,000 additional jobs in its first three years. In addition, Hangar42 has one of the largest sound stages in the world and a data infrastructure that will allow production information to be shared with others across the globe in real time.
Our hope is that the studio will multiply the economic impact to the local West Michigan community and tie more companies, people and jobs to the growing film industry,” she said. “We think it offers further support that there is a lot going on in the area and it’s a great place to live and work.”"
