Fort Monmouth Before Construction

That's quite the large complex.  The parade field is huge, which seems to be normal for all Army bases.  I read where lots of history was made at that base over the years with the first radio-equipped meteorological balloon reaching the upper atmosphere, RADAR being developed on that base -- a model of which detected the 1947 Pearl Harbor attacks, and the celestial communication theory was proved via radar transmissions during Project Diana marking what is widely recognized as the beginning of the “Space Age.”

Now Netflix will take it into the future.  Hopefully, their construction will be completed by 2028 as anticipated.  

Nicely done Charles - that is a huge piece of land!

That is only about 20% of the property. There's more to come.

There you go - it's overtaking Hollywood

Hoping you're going to document the progress with lots of before and after shots.

Nothing is built yet. Everything that's there was there for a while.

I mean Netflix is already overtaking the studios in movie production - sites like this will merely add to their repertoire.

When I flew there I didn't know it was Netflix. It was the construction company that they are using.  Still interesting nonetheless.
