Filed under: Announcements, Georgia Gaming News, Industry News
Georgia really wants game developers to come to their state, so much so that free rent is being offered at a new facility.
The Creative Coast Alliance (TCCa) and the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA) today announced a deal for up to one year of free rent in the Game Development and Digital Media Center. The facility is Currently under development at the Class A office building on the Savannah River.
“Savannah has what game development companies need in talent, tech and quality of life,” said Brenda Brathwaite, game designer and chair of SCAD’s Interactive Design and Game Development Department. “In today’s economy when so many developers are laid off and looking for that silver lining, the Savannah offer is incredibly welcome and offers developers a chance to start a studio on more stable footing.”
TCCa and SEDA both noted that that Georgia’s Department of Economic Development recently expanded the Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act to include game development companies, giving them a 30% tax credit on related expenditures in Georgia. The Savannah region has over 17 regional colleges and universities, including the Savannah College of Art and Design, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech.
