The Empire State has a lot more to offer than just the bustling metropolis of the Big Apple. Travel north and you discover the colonial settings of Westchester County, the middle-American cityscapes of Syracuse, and Norman Rockwell Americana. Add to that the professional crew base of New York City and incentives that include a 30% credit on qualified expenditures in the state and a whopping $420 million in credits annually, and you’ve got a destination that’s hard to beat.
