From Portland Business Journal:
The TNT television series "Leverage" will soon call Oregon home.
The series will provide “long-term job opportunities and higher-than-average wages with benefits for Oregonians hired as cast and crew,” according to the Governor’s Film and Video Office.
Officials said the move will bring millions of dollars to the state.
“The decision to locate in Oregon is a clear indication that our incentive programs are working. State support for film and television creates jobs and brings a big return on investment for Oregon taxpayers,” said Gov. Ted Kulongoski, in a statement.
"Leverage" will begin shooting here as it opens production on its second season. It stars Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton.
The series was partly attracted by incentives offered through the Oregon Production Investment Fund and Greenlight Oregon.
Shooting throughout Oregon is set to begin in late spring.
