CLEVELAND -- Thanks to the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, the streets of Cleveland transformed into a superhero's battleground last summer with "The Avengers." Now there's a plan to double the tax break. It was a very significant contribution to Fast Signs business in Cleveland last year.

In 2011, the Ohio Film Office reported nearly $70 million were spent on film projects in Cleveland, compared to the $29 million for Cincinnati. Only $3 million were spent in Columbus.
