The most recent info I've seen is this article from March:

The lack of news since then doesn't mean anything one way or another, but that article makes it sound as if there are a lot of factors working against it.

Sounds like the NEBCO-to-West-Haven thing has fallen through now, so I wonder if there is any chance of revitalizing those original plans....

>Jaigantic Studios plans to build 25 new soundstages on River Street in Fair Haven across two phases of development.

>The self-described “mini-major studio” said the project should take over $200 million to complete, and claimed it would result in thousands of jobs along with movie-and-TV-production-related economic development.

Hmm, maybe you're right. I was told by a friend who is a regular at Nebco that they'd decided to stay in Woodbridge. I thought it had to do with fighting appeals of variances they were granted for the new location in West Haven (and there are stories up about that: https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Jimmie-s-files-second-appeal-against-West-17436419.php#photo-22919311), but maybe I'm wrong and they haven't formally announced any change in their plans to relocate.
