Burbank officials touted the city as the “media capital of the world” in Hollywood trade papers this week, capitalizing on the City Council’s approval of a $600-million expansion of the Walt Disney Studios.
The city purchased full-page advertisements in the Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety after Tuesday night’s unanimous City Council vote to approve Disney’s 25-year growth plan.
The vote exemplifies Burbank’s decision to turn to the entertainment industry to save the city’s economic future after the recent loss of several big aerospace companies.
