I would disagree with you on this point.
While increased capacity and 100 new jobs on a assembly line is great on many levels, it would not create the same multiplier effect as the film industry does. The variety of tasks, resources, equipment and people leads to many underutilize buildings being repurposed for specific space and needs. Just the coffee and food alone is huge lol.
I cannot comment on the actual economics specifically but can say an added shift to a factory in the suburbs is in no way as beneficial to the core of the city as 100 in the film industry...
The industry is very good for Waterfront North and the balance of “The Point”.
Let’s just try our best to have more of both!
