A TV production company is looking to film in Casey County.
Tom McConnell is the Executive Producer of a show called Coomer’s Country. He addressed civic leaders at Liberty City Hall yesterday.
McConnell proposed three days of filming, which could cost up to $45,000 to produce. The shows could air on Discovery Network’s “Destination America” or on RFD TV for a lesser amount. The programs would bring attention to Liberty and Casey County on a national level.
Mr. McConnell is also a promoter of vintage truck/tractor pulls and suggested a two year contract to host events at the Ag/Expo Center, which could potentially bring thousands of visitors to our community.
Members of the Liberty City Council, Tourism Board, and Economic Development Authority are taking the proposal under consideration. Look for a special City Council meeting next week to vote on the matter.
McConnell said he needed a decision by next Friday.
