Movie industry in Michigan is a positive
Andrew Norton
You can't avoid bad news about anything and everything these days. Whether it's across the nation or just the local issues here in Michigan. The media won't let you miss it. You see it on television, read it online or in the paper, and hear it on the radio. Things are tough all over. Good news seems hard to find.
Some good news here in Michigan is the increase in movies and movie production facilities this year. Since a new law was passed in April with incentives for film companies to work here in Michigan there has been a steady influx of movie business. The Kalamazoo Gazette reports that in 2007 Michigan had three applications to film in Michigan. There have been 49 just since April of this year.
Lots of headlines and rumors have been going around as of late talking about big movie studios setting up soundstages and other production facilities across the state. While I'll believe it when I see it, it is nice to have good rumors about Michigan.
That's your good news from Michigan on this Wednesday :)
