In the race to build Georgia movie studios, a project in Effingham County near Savannah is set to break ground next month and could have a leg up on the competition. The size of roughly seven Piedmont Parks, the 1,550-acre "Studioplex" will directly employ 1,000 people, officials have said. The chairman of Medient Studios Inc., makers of movies you've never seen, is confident the facility will be operational by the first quarter of 2014. [WTOC]
