SUMMARY:WI Film Tax Incentives: Reshaping Wisconsin's Production Landscape
DESCRIPTION:For years\, Wisconsin has lost large productions to other states. Not because we don’t have the people\, skills\, or locations\, but because other states have one crucial piece we don’t: tax incentives. However\, that’s all about to change.
