Ohio is investing more than $2.8 million in tax credits for new film, television and theatrical projects across the state, including several taking place in Cleveland. The six projects are projected to generate more than $85.2 million in economic impact and $4.7 million in payroll.

When we invest in the creative economy, the impact extends far beyond the stage and screen.

We’re excited to see Cleveland and Ohio continue to be a place where creative work happens, creative careers grow and investment in the arts creates ripple effects throughout our communities.
