The city of Chamblee has adopted a film production ordinance to help facilitate commercial movie and television projects that shoot in Chamblee.
Georgia has become a hub for the entertainment industry, with an estimated statewide economic impact of $6 billion from nearly 250 movies and television shows filmed between July 2014 and June 2015.
The new law allows the permit process to be administered by the Chamblee Economic Development Office, and authorizes the city to ensure that proper safety standards are met. Chamblee pledges to ensure that the public will be notified of any impacts, and that the production company can maintain their schedule.
