FONU2, Inc. announced today that Effingham County has approved Moon River Studios’ initial permit request to begin construction of the entrance, roads, and water lines for the film production studio facility.  After a successful bidding process led by the Company’s civil engineers, the grading, road, and water line contracts have been awarded to Preferred Site Construction, LLC. This latest in a series of milestones comes shortly after the Effingham County Board of Commissioners’ approval of the Moon River Studios Master Plan.

“The issuance of permits and the actual moving of dirt are major milestones for Moon River Studios,” stated Jake Shapiro, Chairman of the Board of FONU2. “The shared vision of building the Moon River Studios has taken another leap towards becoming a tangible reality.  We expect to announce a start date shortly. We congratulate Preferred Site Construction, LLC on winning the bid, and we look forward to working with them.  Once construction has begun, we will be posting photos to our Facebook page and website, so that our supporters can continue to track our progress.”
