Kentucky governor signs film incentive bill
FRANKFORT, KY (WHAS) — Gov. Steve Beshear signed House Bill 340, which will make Kentucky more competitive in attracting film and television productions and help create jobs, generate tax revenue and promote tourism.
“House Bill 340 gives Kentucky a strong advantage when competing with other states for outside film projects,” said Gov. Beshear. “Increased film production in Kentucky means a boost to local economies and an opportunity to highlight the Bluegrass state on both big and small screens across the world.”
First Lady Jane Beshear, who testified in support of the bill, recognized its importance for local filmmakers and bringing in new film projects.
