Macon consistently implements community-based
initiatives through strategic plans like the Macon Action
Plan and One Macon. Today, we are witnessing these plans
come to life in the community. The momentum between
Neel's Lofts, Mercer's medical school, Bibb Theatre, the
new arena, the National Park e orts, and other economic
development initiatives is a result of public-private
partnerships, leadership, and vision decades in the making.
