Santa Fe officials say ABC's "The Bachelor" is offering a rose to the city in the form of a filming date.
Santa Fe tourism director Randy Randall announced Friday that the reality television show is likely to film there this fall.
Randall says no contract has been signed yet but it's nearly a done deal.
According to Randall, an incentive package being offered to the show is not coming from the pockets of city taxpayers.
The City Council in July approved spending between $50,000 and $100,000 to offset "Bachelor" production costs.
Randall says the money will come from the state tourism department and the state Lodger's Tax, which applies to hotel guests.
