“Our Virgin Galactic adventure has been intertwined with New Mexico and Spaceport America right from the start.
New Mexico will become one of the very few places on this beautiful planet of ours, which regularly launches humans into to space.”
With $3B+ being invested as part of productioncenters created by Netflix and NBCUniversal, New Mexico is a rapidly accelerating media hub and offers beautiful locations, history, culture, and one of the largest crew bases in the country, plus a very generous refundable tax credit.
“New Mexico provides an outstanding production and business environment in close proximity to Los Angeles with some of the best crews and creative talent in the world.
It allows us to be more nimble in executing our production plans while cementing the status of the region as one of the leading production centers in North America.”
