Michigan Reaps First Benefits of Film Incentive Package!

Michigan Legislature recently passed into law the film incentive package! The package provides a 42% tax credits and other tax incentives to movie producers who come to Michigan to shoot their movies. The first film to get in on the tax break is the future film The Fifth Mafia. The incentive also allows easy and free access to the all of the states roads, parks and other stand owned buildings. The Fifth Mafia will be filming in the Grand Rapids ares and revenue just form hotel rooms alone is estimated at around $600,000. Restaurant and many other Grand Rapids businesses will reap the benefits! This tax incentive was the brain storming of Jennifer Granholm! Thank God Jennifer beat Dick Devos!

This will bring much needed revenue to other Michigan locations in the near future as well! I think we can expect a many more movies producers coming to Michigan to reap the benefit of this incentive. Michigan, we’re so Hollywood!

Kudoos to Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm!
