New planning effort for Macon’s urban core underway | Business | Macon.com

The Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority announced Wednesday it launched a collaborative planning effort that would combine several different master plans into one coordinated plan for downtown.

The authority is seeking a planning firm to coordinate the yearlong process, Alex Morrison, executive director of the authority, said during a news conference.

“The process will be driven by members of the community … which will take downtown to the next level,” he said.

A new urban core master plan would combine existing plans, such as the NewTown Macon Strategic Plan, the Second Street Master Plan and the College Hill Corridor Master Plan.
