Abstract:
In 1984 Italian movie producer Dino De Laurentiis arrived in Wilmington to build a studio. Since then over 350 films, television shows, and commercials have been shot there. The industry also has moved to other parts of the state, like Charlotte, Asheville, and the Appalachians. Last year, producers spent around $254 million in the state which created 4,000 jobs and 25,000 part-time and temporary ones. Financial incentives from the state have helped keep this industry working in the state. However, unless the incentives are renewed in June by the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly, they will expire at the end of 2014. What happens then to the film industry is uncertain.

Abstract:
Historic-preservation income-tax credit from the federal government in 1976 and one from the state in 1998 have helped to renovate historic buildings and bring new life to dying down-towns. In the past thirty years these credits have helped finance 1,324 projects that have generated an estimated $1.4 billion in economic output. However, a 2013 overhaul of the tax code by the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly will end the state credit program at the end of 2014. Tax credits for commercial, residential, and mill buildings will be eliminated unless renewed. At present there are no plans to revisit tax reform during the short session.
