Superconducting Super Collider site to be a movie/recording studio

Instead of scientists from all over the world unlocking mysteries of the universe in a 54-mile circular tunnel, county leaders are hoping by the end of the month to finally close on the sale of the land and remaining buildings from the unfinished, over-budget project that Congress killed in 1993.

Although in 2002 a buyer's plans to convert the Super Collider land into an anti-terrorism training facility did not materialize, Mr. Adams has faith in the new buyer.


Mr. Marabella could not be reached for comment Monday, but Mr. Adams said plans for the property include a sound and recording studio and possibly a film studio.

Once Congress scrapped the Super Collider 12 years ago because a wrong-sized part would have boosted the Super Collider's cost by $1 billion, the state's General Land Office, the county and the school district made claims on the U.S. Department of Energy land.
