The small town of Little Elm, Texas has recently been recognized by Governor Greg Abbott as a new addition to the state’s roster of Film Friendly Texas Certified Communities.

According to a statement from the

, Little Elm is one of more than 175 Texas communities to have received this designation. “Texas is brimming with promise, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside all of our communities to ensure they have the knowledge and tools needed to succeed,” Governor Abbott said. The Film Friendly Texas certification aims to thoroughly prepare these communities, helping to connect local businesses with production companies and in turn, spur job creation and local spending.
