Some of the key points of the agreement between Pima County and AHR are:

The facility will remain Old Tucson Studios.
Some of the activities that will be offered at the park will include concerts, outdoor events, soundstages trails and restaurants.
They will try to continue Old Tucson’s history as a filming location with “relationships with major studios, Film Tucson, Arizona Department of Film and Pima County.”
The term of the agreement is five years with the possibility of two 10-year extensions.
AHR will pay the county $60,000 per year for rent. The rent may be adjusted every five years.
AHR will pay the county 4% of annual gross operating revenue during the first five years. That would drop to 2% if the agreement is extended.
AHR will dedicate 2% of the gross operating revenue for maintenance, improvement projects or expansions.
The Old Tucson Studios trademark will be owned by Pima County.
The facility will be open to the public.
AHR will support youth education programs in the county.
AHR will promote Tucson as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.
AHR will have to get the Pima County Board of Supervisors’ approval for any alterations over $500,000.

Would have been nice if they could have untangled the mess they left at Mount Rainier scenic, before doing this...
