Ken Barnard, a local resident, spoke during the public comment time about the movie production underway in downtown Senoia and the road closings it has enacted. Barnard asked for the production company to be more considerate and open with their plans, and Mayor Robert Belisle, said a new policy dictates future movie production teams come before the council to inform them of their plans. The proprietor of Gail’s Antiques on Main Street praised the movie production for bringing more people and excitement to Senoia.
