College Station recently received a state designation indicating it is a good location for production companies working in such areas as film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects and video game production.
The city's designation as a Film Friendly Texas community by the Texas Film Commission indicates the city has joined the approximately 140 communities in the state that have “completed the multi-step training and certification process” required by the state agency, according to the city.
“Through the Film Friendly Texas training and certification process, communities large and small are readied to help match local businesses with production-related needs, creating jobs for Texas-based crew members and local residents as well as spurring on-site spending at local small businesses,” Gov. Greg Abbott said. “And I am proud of all that the Texas Film Commission has accomplished in helping communities like College Station begin to open their economy."
