Officials say there are changes underway to address noise complaints about film production at EBP

Spectrum News

Information is still somewhat sketchy, but apparently there are efforts to try and ease the noise complaints some people living near Eastman Business Park have had regarding a film production going on there.

The film set appears to involve a car racing show, and Rochester city officials had sent out a statement recently saying there might be some lighting and noise impacting surrounding streets.

But some people, like Fred Nash, who spoke with Spectrum News, didn’t like the way the whole process was handled.

“They can make all the noise they want, I mean, that’s ok. But I think, again, if it was done the proper way, not jammed down our throats, but respect this neighborhood. This is a good neighborhood, we’ve got good people.”

A Rochester City Hall spokeswoman, Jessica Alaimo, said that officials have spoken with both the production company, Greetings Media and Kodak, who assured officials that they would be making some changes to the production process.

A spokesman for Kodak, Nicholas Rangel, said that the production company has been responsive and has since moved a practice station, the source of the noise, farther away from the homes on Merrill Street.
