Major Initiatives

   

The Wayne County Film Initiative

Where can you find settings such as urban, suburban, rural, industrial, waterfront, bridges, a racetrack, an airport, easy highway access, a multitude of ethnic neighborhoods, and diverse communities ALL IN ONE PLACE? Wayne County is the place in Michigan for all your filming needs. The County has locations suitable for all kinds of scenes.

Beyond the variety of settings, the Wayne County team is diligently working to be the leader in reliable and capable crews, building a team of “film-friendly” vendors, and creating sound stages and studios for post-production. We also have a close working relationship with all local universities and colleges and access to a student workforce at your disposal.

The Wayne County Film Initiative was launched in 2008 to assist and attract incoming production companies. Our hope is to leverage our resources and highlight all that we, as the largest County in the state of Michigan, have to offer the film industry. We are a “one-stop shop” for any and all filming needs. Our goal is to diversify our economy, promote growth, and create jobs in this region.

The Aerotropolis

The Aerotropolis is an exciting new concept embraced by Wayne and Washtenaw Counties, the local communities, and leading business executives in Michigan. The Detroit region has the elements to become a world-class aerotropolis — two major airport facilities, over 25,000 acres of developable land, and supportive community leadership. In addition, Southeast Michigan has an advantageous geographical location with ready access to a majority of the North American consumer markets, a shorter flight distance to international markets, and a developed infrastructure connecting the transportation ports. All modes of transportation (air, sea, rail and highway) can be accessed within a one-mile radius, making it an ideal location for a global logistics hub. The Aerotropolis vision, along with the continued rebirth of the City of Detroit, will be the catalyst for significant new investment throughout Michigan.
