Streaming company Netflix has announced they plan to bid on Fort Monmouth.

Fort Monmouth

The base was an installation of the Department of Army before it closed in 2011 due to military budget cuts.

Since its closing, parts of the base have been revitalized as residential housing developments.

“America’s first movie studio was in New Jersey, and today it’s home to many talented people working in entertainment,” Netflix said in a statement.

“Governor Murphy and the state’s legislative leaders have created a business environment that’s welcomed film and television production back to the state, and we’re excited to submit our bid to transform Fort Monmouth into a state-of-the-art production facility.”

Bidding

The bidding process opened on Oct. 16 and runs through Jan. 12.

If acquired, the Fort Monmouth production site would be the second-largest for Netflix, next to ABQ studios in New Mexico.
