With that, I could seriously see some sort of Ranch built there much like SkyWalker Ranch where there is a large facility designed for post production and sound. This kind of thing would fit perfectly into Park City and are usually designed to be very luxurious since studio execs, directors, and actors spend lots of time there once production is complete.

I tend to agree with you skierforlife. Perhaps this development in regard to Park City will be more along the line of post production. Although, I could see them building some significant sound stages, but not necessarily the back-lot sets. However, on further thought, I can see neigboring Park City serving as a premier set-up for location shooting, especially in regard to CW style T.V. series productions. Most of the series I've worked with have involved a mix of sound stage, along with a generous helping of location shooting. Park City itself as a town, along with the immediate surroundings and locals like Heber Valley would be a phenominal set-up.
So far they're just throwing around the word 'Production' but not really defining what phase or how many phases exactly. It will be exciting to see the industry boom along the Wasatch, and where the different production aspects will drop anchor.

...If Republican Gov. Jon Huntsman signs SB 216 into law, the legislation could allow a movie studio, complete with sound stages, to be built alongside a roughly 800-room condominium hotel the U.S. Air Force wants built at Quinn's Junction, Williams said.
Meanwhile, Heber resident Todd Bay, owner of Bay Entertainment and Media, claims a studio could make Park City the hub of the burgeoning film industry in Utah.
Bay says he is meeting with Hollywood types who are interested in operating a production facility in Summit County.
Developers envision the studio and hotel on land near the Park City limits at the junction of U.S. 40 and State Road 248. SB 216 passed despite City Hall hiring a lobbyist to help defeat the bill. There is long-standing legal wrangling between City Hall and county officials and landowners at Quinn's Junction over the size of projects developers have proposed.
