The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $500,000 Reconnecting Communities Pilot (CFDA 20.940) grant to Macon-Bibb County, Georgia on December 13, 2024. The grant will fund the development of a comprehensive streetscapes and commercial development plan for the historic Pleasant Hill neighborhood, which is divided by Interstate 75. The plan will focus on community engagement, public infrastructure improvements, zoning changes, and anti-displacement strategies to reconnect the neighborhood to itself and Macon's downtown business district. The goal is to enhance mobility, access to daily needs, and economic development opportunities for this disadvantaged community.
