HCP Associates Consults Pinellas Co. DMO Leadership to Restructure Film Incentive Program

CLEARWATER, Fla. (October 16, 2024) – HCP recently embarked on another one of many strategic initiatives outlined in the Visit St. Pete-Clearwater strategic plan, following an update to the plan that HCP guided in 2022-2023. This initiative sought to develop a new framework for their “Screen Industry Incentive Program” to better suit current public sentiments and industry needs. The updated program, which is designed to attract filmmakers to the beautiful Gulf shores of Pinellas County, became public as of October 16, 2024, and offers detailed insights as to the many opportunities for filming in the county and its 24 municipalities.

HCP played a vital role in providing necessary consulting and recommendations to give the program the structure it needed to facilitate and incentivize new productions in Pinellas County.  This included developing a new departmental structure and framework for Pinellas County which works closely with more than 24 municipalities vying for film production projects that positively promote the community.
