~ Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the City of Sweeny has been designated as a Film Friendly Texas Community by the Texas Film Commission. This comes after the city completed the multi-step training and certification process.

"I congratulate the City of Sweeny on earning the Film Friendly Texas designation and joining more than 175 other Texas communities that have received this recognition," said Governor Abbott. "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."

The Governor's Office of Economic Development and Tourism's Texas Film Commission has been helping grow local jobs and economies by promoting Texas as a premier destination for film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game, and extended reality production for over 50 years. This has resulted in more than $2 billion in local spending and created more than 183,000 production jobs across the state from 2007 to 2023.
