Thank you to Town of Montgomery Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Vincent Rouhotas and Choice Films & Choice Theatricals for inviting us to tour the new sound stage in Montgomery today.

It’s exciting to see continued investment in the film and production industry right here in the Hudson Valley. Projects like this help put our region on the map while creating new opportunities for jobs, small businesses, and economic growth.

The new sound stage has the potential to attract productions from across the state and beyond. Bringing with it skilled trades, hospitality spending, creative industry jobs, and long-term economic impact for our communities.

Looking forward to seeing this project continue to grow and the opportunities it will create for the Town of Montgomery and the surrounding region.
