Redevelopment board approves downtown film shoot for March 22–25, asks production to notify police
Summary
The board approved a late request for a downtown film shoot March 22–25 and instructed the production to coordinate with police and use sidewalks rather than closing state routes; a motion to add and approve the item passed on a voice vote.
Board members approved a late request to allow a downtown film shoot on March 22–25. The applicant said filming would be located in front of Montego Bay and that production intended to use sidewalks and avoid traveling on a state route; board members asked that the police department be kept apprised of filming logistics.
A board member moved to add the film shoot to the agenda and to flip the order of business so unfinished business and unsafe buildings would be heard first; the motion was seconded and passed. The production noted the shoot would be daytime and that extras would be used; a board member invited local residents to volunteer as extras. No permits to close state routes were requested and the board approved the dates with a voice vote.
The board advised the production to coordinate with city police to avoid conflicts during filming and to minimize impacts on sidewalks and pedestrian flow.
