Madea Goes to Douglasville?
There's speculation that writer, director and producer Tyler Perry may be moving to Douglas County, after a firm he has ties with bought 856 acres east of downtown Douglasville.
Writer, director and producer Tyler Perry may be moving to Douglas County, the AJC is reporting today. ETPC Company LLC, a firm with ties to Perry, has purchased a piece of property where more than 1,300 homes were once planned to be built.
A bit south of Sweetwater Creek State Park and I-20, the company now owns 856 acres, east of downtown Douglasville near Tributary, according to the AJC.
Known for his work as a writer, as well as stage, television and film, Perry may have purchased the property to be near his 200,000 square foot studio in Atlanta but the newspaper said his intentions are unclear.
