N.J. Taxpayers Paying $420,000 To Cover Production Costs For 'Jersey Shore'
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (WPIX)— In the words of 'Jersey Shore' cast member Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino - New Jersey taxpayers have a "situation."
Taxpayers will be responsible for $420,000 of production costs from the show's inaugural 2009 season, under a tax credit approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.
The approval was among the first round of film tax credits awarded by the EDA since 2010, when Governor Chris Christie suspended the program to close the budget deficit.
Some local lawmakers criticized the tax incentive program. "I can't believe we are paying for fake tanning for 'Snooki' and 'The Situation,' and I am not even sure $420,000 covers that," said Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon (R-Monmouth).
But Seaside Heights Mayor P. Kenneth Hershey said the state investment pays local dividends, which is the goal of the tax credit.
"The boost to the economy certainly shows, when they are here this place is busy," said Hershey.
Fans flock to Seaside Heights every summer to catch a glimpse of cast members, and that brings revenue to the area. Local business experts said beach and parking revenue was up approximately 20 percent as compared to other surrounding beaches.
