The New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission (NJMPTVC), a division of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), announced that 14 municipalities and four counties have successfully completed the rigorous Film Ready New Jersey Program and are now officially designated as Film Ready Communities. This initiative, aimed at bolstering the state’s film industry, equips communities with the necessary tools to accommodate movie and television productions while effectively marketing themselves as desirable film destinations.
NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan emphasized the program’s significance, stating, “The Film Ready New Jersey Program is helping the state’s film industry grow by giving municipalities and counties the tools needed to welcome top-tier productions to their communities.”
Among the newly designated Film Ready Communities are Berkeley Heights, Cranford, Fair Lawn, Jersey City, Manville, Newark, Plainfield, Pompton Lakes, Rahway, Ridgefield Park, Ringwood, Roseland, West Orange, and Westwood, along with Bergen, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties.
