We appreciate the support from the state and local government and their forward thinking incentives that have helped the series’ creative vision and bottom line.”Įmpire State Development Corporation Downstate President Avi Schick said, “We anticipated that the tripling of New York’s incentives would lure productions to New York but even we didn’t expect to see such immediate results. These new tax incentives have made it possible to bring Betty Suarez back to her home town. Pedowitz said: “New York is an integral part of the creative storytelling of ‘Ugly Betty’.

We welcome ABC Studio’s series which joins a list of other hit television shows, including ‘Law & Order’, ’30 Rock’ and ‘Gossip Girl’, all of which are filmed right here in New York City.”īloomberg said: “While there’s no better backdrop than New York City for virtually any television show, a show about a young woman from Queens whose job combines publishing and fashion was made to be ‘Made in New York’. “With this hit show set to film in Manhattan and Queens, this will allow viewers to see more of our great city. “New York City is one of the most desired filming locations in the country and we are pleased to welcome ‘Ugly Betty’ into that storied history,” said Governor Paterson. Coupled with the city’s 5 percent ‘Made in NY’ tax credit, film companies can now take advantage of 35 percent of tax credits allowing New York to once again reclaim its spot as the premiere location for film production. This has resulted in a loss of approximately $750 million to the New York economy. With the increased competition from neighboring states, New York has been losing film and television business for the past several years. The expansion of the state’s tax credit program tripled the percentage of qualified film production costs eligible for the credit from 10 percent to 30 percent and extends the program to 2013.

Last month, Paterson announced the expansion of the New York State Film Production Credit during the opening of the seventh annual Tribeca Film Festival.
