By doing so, the entire community can move “Forward Together” and make Macon-Bibb County the hub of Middle Georgia. The Commissioners have identified five strategic focus areas to obtain the communities goals: ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The highest priority of Macon-Bibb County is to create a robust economy and strong communities. We will focus on retaining our current business and industry, creating opportunities for new economic development while addressing poverty, supporting and encouraging quality education, and fostering workforce development. SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SAFE COMMUNITIES Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of great communities. Macon-Bibb County will focus our efforts on providing public safety, citizen education and engagement, and crime prevention, all in an effort to create safe and enduring communities. EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT The Macon-Bibb County Commission and staff will work to improve public perception of the governance and government processes and apply fair and equitable principles regarding taxation and employee compensation. We will utilize best management practices to execute Commission policy towards completing SPLOST and all other projects successfully and in a timely manner. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS To achieve the community we desire, Macon-Bibb County will focus on and develop stormwater, water, and wastewater infrastructures and an integrated transportation system of rails, trails, roads, and runways to become the logistics hub of Georgia. QUALITY OF LIFE Macon-Bibb County will support, encourage, and promote good living in Macon-Bibb with the arts and cultural events, tourism improvements, social and nightlife opportunities, and a community-wide system of passive and active recreation. 1 2 | MACONBIBB.US Message from THE MAYOR To the Citizens of Macon-Bibb County, We are delighted to provide you with our Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Its purpose is to provide you with summarized financial information about our activities and efforts this past year, and it comes from the more detailed Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), which was audited by Mauldin & Jenkins, Certified Public Accountants. This is the second year we have created this easy-to-read financial report for the public since we created the consolidated Macon- Bibb County government on January 1, 2014. Your new government was created by your vote of approval, and it replaced the former City of Macon and Bibb County governments. With those governments having existed for almost 200 years, the task of consolidation was not an overnight nor easy process, and we are not yet finished. But we have seen successes; for example, we significantly reduced the budget, attracted new industries, increased private sector employment, and improved our quality of life. During the last year, we: • Reopened several recreation and community centers that were undergoing major improvements funded by the voter-approved Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST); • Celebrated the Macon Mayhem’s national championship in hockey and welcomed a new baseball team (Macon Bacon) to be located at Historic Luther Williams Field and indoor football team (Georgia Doom) to the Macon Centreplex; • Saw major progress in our attack on blight through the Blight Remediation Program; • Entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to look for economic development possibilities between our regional airport and the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center; • Further expanded our recycling program, including new bins installed downtown; • Held multiple public forums on a variety of topics; • Helped with the announcement of new industries and downtown developments; • Watched as several movies were filmed here; • And more. It was a challenging but exciting year as we worked to move our entire community forward together, and we expect to have more challenges in the future. What our community needs and deserves is within our reach, but it will take us all working together to make it happen. We welcome any feedback, comments, or ideas you may have for continued improvement and growth. It has been a pleasure for us, as the Macon-Bibb County Commission, to serve each of you.

  • Baseball Study Recommends Downtown Maco... For
    POLITICS & GOVERNMENT FEBRUARY 23, 2016 6:51 PM Baseball study recommends downtown Macon stadium for minor league team BY STANLEY DUNLAP [email protected] The company behind a Macon baseball feasibility study is recommending a downtown ballpark as a catalyst for economic development, with the ability to draw at least 250,000 people each year. B&D Venues, which presented its study to the Macon-Bibb County Commission on Tuesday, estimated a new minor league stadium could generate about $171 million in economic activity and $176 million in wages over a 30-year period. The top three sites, according to Washington, D.C.-based B&D Venues, would be Mid City Square offSecond Street, an area offMartin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Plum Street, and an area that includes Telegraph-owned property on Broadway. The study estimates that 250,000 to 300,000 people would attend ball games and other stadium events during the year. The report said Macon could support a Class A team, in part because about 350,000 people live within a 30-minute drive from downtown. B&D, which is under the umbrella of program management firm Brailsford & Dunlavey, scouted eight sites around downtown that could accommodate a 5,000-seat stadium estimated to cost about $38 million, not including land acquisition, parking or any off-site infrastructure. "Our personal experience is if people say they aren't going to come downtown, if you make a decision to build a state-of-the-art stadium, attract a (team) ... they'll come downtown. They'll absolutely come downtown," said Rich Neumann, vice president of major accounts for B&D Venues.
