Danny Beck Podcast: Ep. 17: Scott Tigchelaar

Danny Beck Podcast

In this episode of the Danny Beck Podcast, Scott Tigchelaar shares how he helped shape Georgia into a film industry powerhouse, starting with his work on the 2003 tax incentive that brought productions like The Walking Dead to the state. 

Scott also dives into his ambitious efforts to transform downtown Senoia — from buying up 22 vacant parcels to growing the area from just five businesses to over 150. 

He discusses the economic impact of Riverwood Studios, the future of local projects like a trolley connecting Senoia and Newnan, and why thoughtful long-term planning is key to community success.
