The Westchester County Office of Economic Development works hard to help businesses find the resources and hands-on expertise necessary to promote economic investment. Subscribe to the Office of Economic Development "Business Briefs" newsletter to lean about the kinds of incentives Westchester can offer your businesses.

For many years, Westchester has played a prominent role in the film industry, given its ideal proximity New York City. The county offers over 20,000 acres of parkland, miles of Hudson River and Long Island Sound shoreline. It boasts mansions, castles and other historic restorations representing 300 years of American History. Through its Film Office, Westchester County supports filming initiatives in all its cooperating municipalities.

Contact the Film Office for information on Westchester municipal filming policies, as well as county maps, a listing of county-owned sites and data to assist in scouting locations for still photography, film and video production.
