Macon-Bibb County will begin its 5x5 Neighborhood Improvement Program in District 9 on Monday, March 9, and it will run through Friday, April 10. Commissioner Al Tillman will be hosting several public events throughout the week to raise awareness of the program, seek input on other projects, provide a Macon-Bibb update, and bring the community together to help with the cleanup.

Work in the District will begin following the press conference on Monday, March 9. To view a map of the District 9 area receiving the focused services – as well as reports and maps from previous Districts – click here.

At the Public Forum on Tuesday, Commissioner Tillman will be updating District 9 on the progress of several projects of interest, including Filmore Thomas Park, Log Cabin Road improvements, and the 5 x 5 Program. Mr. Tillman will also use the opportunity for people to let him know of other areas in District 9 that need specific work and to ask questions about the consolidated Macon-Bibb County government.

On Saturday, March 14, there will be a neighborhood cleanup in the 5 x 5 area hosted by Greater Bellevue Baptist Church and supported by the Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful Commission through its 365 Pick Up Macon campaign. Following the cleanup, the Church will host a festival for the neighborhood and families.

“I am asking every community leader, church, and neighborhood watch group to adopt a street in District Nine and help us clean up our community,” says Commissioner Tillman.

As part of a great focus on communication with the community, Macon-Bibb County is making a concerted effort to collect and report data from the five-week focused services, and maps and reports from each District are being posted online. Those can be viewed by clicking here and selecting the ‘’5 x 5 Neighborhood Improvement Program” tab.
