The Nevada Assembly has narrowly approved a bold expansion of the state’s film tax credit program, which could make Las Vegas a hotbed for film and television production.

AB5 passed in a 22-20 vote, proposing $120 million in annual, transferable tax credits for film companies over the next 15 years.

This initiative is expected to spark development of the Summerlin Production Studios, a partnership between Howard Hughes Holdings and Sony Pictures Entertainment, slated for a major site near Flamingo Road and Town Center Drive.

The project plans ten buildings, a massive 500,000-square-foot studio, plus new retail, restaurant, and office spaces, potentially creating 10,000 new union jobs with high wages.

Supporters say AB5 will diversify Nevada’s economy, but critics worry about possible strain on the state budget and local services.

Debate continues as the bill moves to the Senate, with impacts for both economic growth and Summerlin residents’ quality of life at stake.
