Investor in Michigan film studio charged in fraud
Tuesday August 03rd 2010GRAND RAPIDS – The main investor in a project to turn a former western Michigan auto parts plant into a film production studio has been charged in what authorities say is an attempt to fraudulently obtain a $10 million state tax credit.
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox announced today that 46-year-old Joseph Peters of Ada was charged with attempted felony false pretenses over $20,000.
A message seeking comment from Peters was left with a spokeswoman for Hangar42.
Cox says Peters falsely claimed in an application to the Michigan Film Office for an infrastructure tax credit that his company bought Hangar42 in Walker for $40 million. The application was later denied.
Cox is one of five Republicans running for governor in Tuesday’s primary.
