In this episode of The Danny Beck Podcast, Steve Swope dives into why he’s not on board with the proposed 830-acre data center in Coweta County — citing concerns about watershed damage, low tax benefit, and traffic headaches. He’s pro-data center, just not there. Plus, hear about Steve’s fascinating past in airline pricing and founding the Rubicon Group.
Then, Melody Kaiser shares the magic behind Newnan’s first-ever Porch Fest! With 48 bands, 8 food trucks, and over 3,500 attendees, it was a hit. Melody dishes on planning, her work with Will Turpin (Collective Soul), and what’s next for Porch Fest 2026.
