50 Cent is expanding his entertainment ventures in Shreveport, LA, as the city positions itself to become a major new hub for film and television.<\/p>\n
The Shreveport City Council recently approved the creation of the Film and Entertainment Gateway Economic Development District, designed to support 50 Cent\u2019s production projects, the Shreveport Times reports.<\/a><\/p>\n According to the outlet, the district covers properties he owns or leases and adds a 2% tax on all properties within its boundaries. As the Shreveport Times reported, this will not impose new taxes on residents unless they make purchases within the district.<\/p>\n In 2024, 50 Cent\u2019s G-Unit Film & Television took over the former Millennium Studios on a 30-year lease from the city, as<\/p>\n AFROTECH<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> \u2122<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n previously reported. In additional reporting<\/a> by the Shreveport Times, Millennium Studios, a 985,000-square-foot property, was renamed G-Unit Studios. This came alongside his $2.4 million in downtown real estate, per<\/a> the outlet, making him one of the city\u2019s largest property owners and establishing G-Unit Studios as the second-largest Black-owned studio in the country, behind Tyler Perry\u2019s Atlanta studio, as<\/p>\n AFROTECH<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> \u2122<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n previously reported.<\/p>\n According to the Shreveport Times\u2019 recent report, production at 50 Cent\u2019s facility has been delayed due to flooding. Shreveport Chief Administrative Officer Tom Dark told the outlet, \u201cIf we don\u2019t intercept the water further up the way, they\u2019re still going to have issues,\u201d adding that drainage concerns must be resolved before production can begin.<\/p>\n Councilman James Green echoed the concern to the outlet, saying, \u201cIf a building is flooding and you\u2019re supposed to be putting millions of dollars in there for your studio then it would be a crackhead move to go and put stuff in there that you\u2019re going to have to basically take right back out. It just makes good business sense. We have not finished fixing what needs to be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n In the meantime, G-Unit Studios is developing a new show titled \u201cShreveport Justice,\u201d which, according to a G-Unit representative, per the Shreveport Times, will authentically highlight local police and the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n 50 Cent\u2019s Shreveport ventures position his entertainment projects as part of the broader effort to strengthen\u00a0its local economy.<\/a><\/p>\n The post 50 Cent Gains Support As Shreveport City Council Approves Economic Development District To Reinforce His Film And TV Projects<\/a> appeared first on AfroTech<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post 50 Cent Gains Support As Shreveport City Council Approves Economic Development District To Reinforce His Film And TV Projects<\/a> appeared first on AfroTech<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 50 Cent is expanding his entertainment ventures in Shreveport, LA, as the city positions itself to become a major new hub for film and television.
