Holland Young Professionals

Thank you to Hopwood Depree for participating in our latest Lakeshore e2e event.  It is exciting to hear about what he and others in the area are doing to build the film industry in West Michigan. (see more photos by clicking the ”photos” link in the navigation) 

During the event, the question was raised what we as a business community can do to help with Hopwood’s vision.  The answer… contact our legislators and lobby for additional incentives that will help get the ball rolling.  Hopwood continues to talk to members of our government and is pushing for new incentives to go through that would allow us to compete with states like Louisiana and New Mexico for motion picture production projects. 

According to Hopwood, not only would it bring significant dollars into the Michigan economy but would also create jobs for the area.
