Step-#8): NEW MEDIA INCENTIVES LEGISLATION, HHSE-CEO Parkinson Designer/Drafter
HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson, along with media executive Wade Rivers, structured the proposal to create special incentives for media companies located within Arkansas. With the help and advice from Arkansas Senators Joyce Elliott, Greg Leding and Breanne Davis - along with House Reps. Robin Lundstrum, Denise Garner, Nicole Clowney, Megan Godfrey and David Whitaker - a jobs and incentives program was developed that is designed to create sustainable, long-term jobs for Arkansans working in the Film, Television and New Media Industries.
Below are a few "sample" pages from the 85-page plan drafted by HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson and the proposed legislation.
