Detroit to Capitalize on New Tax Incentives
According to an article from Crain's Detroit Business, the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau intends to launch a new office that market Detroit to filmmakers. Interviews for the person who will eventually head this office are set to begin in January.This, of course, is an effort to capitalize on tax incentives that the Michigan Legislature finally past this week after a mere three years of deliberations.
I have to say, though, that housing a regional office to promote metro Detroit to filmmakers inside of the convention bureau is a stroke of genius. I heard a rumor that someone had circulated a proposal to do so in the spring of 2005.
I wonder who that someone could have been.
