San Antonio updates film incentive program
City to fund $750K towards home repairs As part of the city’s continued support of CPS Energy’s Casa Verde weatherization program, San Antonio City Council entered into a one-year, $750,000 funding agree- ment with CPS on Nov. 6. These funds will be used to assist Casa Verde applicants who are ineligible due to needing small-scale repairs.
Shaped by the recent passage of Texas Senate Bill 22, which formed the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Fund, the redesigned program will work to attract productions, provide profes- sional development for local talent and encourage local hiring, city documents state. Managed by the San Antonio Film Commission, the updated incentive program will be combined with the state incentives and will offer up to 45% in rebates for eligible projects.
To further promote San Antonio to global film and media industries, the San Antonio City Council approved a series of updates to the city’s film incentive program Nov. 6.
