The diversity of our community is our strength. Working together, we can ensure that our future will include more intentional opportunities for people of all backgrounds, including new faces on leadership and policy-making boards, and elimination of institutional barriers to create equitable opportunities, a sense of accountability, unity and a sense of belonging in all sectors.

By creating a safer community, we can make Macon-Bibb a destination of choice for visitors, new businesses/industries and a home for families for generations to come. To accomplish this, we will invest in better training and community policing to improve relationships between the public and law enforcement, implement the recent pay scale study to attract and retain the best talent and prioritize code enforcement.

At the core of a thriving community is a workforce that meets the needs of 21st century industries. The business and education communities will work in full partnership with the local government to ensure that our students have the opportunity to gain the skills needed for the jobs of the future. In doing so, we will make our local educational system the standard of excellence for the nation, thereby increasing positive public perception and inspiring entrepreneurship.

Support for economic development that brings new jobs and opportunity for Macon-Bibb County is a priority for local government. By completing the Middle Georgia Regional Airport Runway extension and reforming the governance of the airports, we will grow high-tech industries and companies. Aviation companies, such as Delta, will use the airport for all maintenance and repair work. We will attract a growing workforce and population, contributing to a clean, beautiful and safe community with a restored sense of pride that attracts economic development prospects. Together, we will ensure that Macon-Bibb County is a proven leader and reliable partner for all of Central Georgia, filling the gap between Atlanta and the coast and helping the entire state.

Local government will join with partners to ensure that Macon-Bibb County becomes a creative, unique and inclusive destination, which will support economic development, workforce, residency and continued growth of tourism and recreational assets.
