[Press release from the Greater Cleveland Film Commission.]
The Greater Cleveland Film Commission
today commended Ohio Governor John Kasich and the Ohio Legislature
for expanding the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Incentive, a critical tool
for strengthening Ohio's growing film industry and creating jobs for
Ohioans.
"Expanding the Ohio Motion Picture
Tax Incentive is essential for the growth of Ohio's emerging film
industry, and now Ohio can continue to attract film projects, create
more jobs and make positive contributions to our economy," said
Ivan Schwarz, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Film
Commission.
"Raising the cap on the tax
incentive acknowledges the success of Ohio's program and lets the
national and international film industry know that Ohio is open for
business. I want to sincerely thank Governor John Kasich for signing
this important legislation, and Ohio Sen. Tom Patton and Ohio Rep.
Mike Dovilla for sponsoring the legislation that made this possible,"
Schwarz said.
