The College Hill Corridor Commission has extended the application deadline to the Knight Community Projects fund to Feb. 15.
 
The Knight Community Projects initiative, made possible through a partnership between the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Mercer University, is providing $50,000 to fund the community’s best ideas for continued revitalization and creative placemaking within the College Hill Corridor.
 
Similar to the Knight Neighborhood Challenge grants coordinated by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, which funded projects such as the Second Sunday Concert Series and the in-ground slide on Coleman Hill, any Macon resident can submit any idea that aligns with the College Hill Corridor Master Plan. Links to the short online application as well as a downloadable copy of the Master Plan can be found at www.collegehillmacon.com. The College Hill Corridor Commission will oversee the selection of Knight Community Projects to receive funding, with winners announced after March 1.
