Tax Incentive Strikes Again
It's not just Film and TV - the Video Game industry is digging the Georgia's Entertainment Tax Incentive with over 75 digital entertainment companies that have offices in Georgia. It was just announced that CCP Games from Reykjavik, Iceland is expanding it's North American headquarters here. They will be moving from Stone Mountain to Decatur GA where they will be hiring an additional 150 people.

Hooray for Georgia! Hooray for jobs!
