Napster, rebranded from its music-sharing origins, plans to build a $160 million movie production studio on a former landfill site in Fort Lauderdale, creating over 1,000 jobs. The project, a 162,000 sq ft building with film sets, a film school, and community space, is a public-private partnership with the city leasing the land for $1/year. Despite environmental concerns, the site was deemed safe after cleanup in 2002. The project is expected to transform the area, but some residents worry about increased traffic and neighborhood character.
