Sponsor testimony described the resolution as a formal county endorsement to position Prince George’s County as a regional hub for creative talent and arts‑based economic development. The committee heard that the state of Maryland already offers a film production activity tax credit that can award up to $10,000,000 per project and that the fiscal‑year 2026 statewide budget for the tax credit was $12,000,000; the committee’s budget office said additional incentives could generate indirect fiscal benefits by stimulating the creative economy and broadening the county tax base.
The Arts and Humanities Commission submitted a letter recommending additional considerations be added to the resolution. The county executive’s office told the committee it supports the legislation with amendments. A motion to recommend draft 2 favorably was moved and seconded and carried on a roll call vote recorded as Chair DeNoga, Council member Adam Stafford and Council member Olson voting aye.
The resolution asks the state legislature for increased incentives and signals county support for policies to attract film and other creative production. The transcript does not record any budgetary commitments by the county beyond the formal expression of support.
