<p>Looks that way -

PORT ST. LUCIE — The City Council Monday night unanimously agreed to move forward with purchasing 15 acres from Tradition Outlet LLC for $10 million, a move that puts up half the state’s contribution to help a local Hollywood executive set up a digital production studio.</p>

<p>**The studio could create up to 500 jobs and bring Florida State University’s Film Studies program to the Treasure Coast.
**
The package includes the local governments building a 150,000-square-foot studio for Hobe Sound-based Wyndcrest Holdings, a private investment firm focused on entertainment and Internet technology headed by Jupiter Island resident John Textor.</p>

<p>Textor is co-chair of the California-based company Digital Domain, which is an award winning visual effects and animation company.</p>

<p>Council members praised the project, saying it would create future employment opportunities for area high school students and students studying film at Indian River State College.
