The State pulled the plug on the the movie industry, so the movie industry pulled the plug on Allen Park. Hey thats how it is sometimes.

The state didn't pull the plug on Reliegh Studios in Pontiac, MI. [[YET) Unity Studios pull the plug themselves because they can't pay their bills. To all you politicians who want support any risky regional projects. Let them show their proposals, how much its going to cost, what land are they going to used to built their infrastucture, what safety net is going to happen if this project fails.
The Allen Park City Council didn't see the potential red flags of Unity Studios. There was no saftey net between them and now they city and its folks will have to pay the price.
Let's not let the APCC off that easy. Didn't see the red flags of a $25 Million property purchase? It is thier job to find and discuss the red flags of any decision they support or oppose!!! All levels of AP government failed, from the staff assistants to the mayor. They didn't even get an appraisil, so either they didn't do their due dilligence or they chose to ignore the facts... either way this is not just bad luck it is irresponsible governance on anyone who voted thier support.The state didn't pull the plug on Reliegh Studios in Pontiac, MI.

Still the studio in Pontiac will be built. If there's any red flags. Those film producers will restitute 25 million dollars to City of Pontiac and the State of Michigan.
Sorry, no - that is not how it is sometimes.
Here is the timeline:
Early 2009: Unity Studios cuts a deal with Allen Park
April 2010: Unity Studios is in default on their lease and Allen Park begins eviction process
Early 2011: State caps [[not pulls the plug) movie subsidies to $25 million annually.
So the capping happened well after Unity caused their own problems. It was DOA in 2010.
This is all irrelevent to the fact that Allen Park city officials failed to look out for the taxpayers.
