Learn more about the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce.
We are pleased to welcome Scott Page of Interface Studio, the company charged with designing the Master Plan for Downtown Macon. According to Interface Studio, “Macon’s urban core is changing in exciting ways. New lofts are attracting more Downtown residents. New retail and restaurants are repopulating storefronts, generating foot traffic and making Downtown buzz with activity. Streetscape improvements now underway on Cherry and 2nd Streets will make the urban core more walkable and beautiful, a perfect backdrop for new placemaking initiatives that will celebrate and build community within the urban core’s unique public realm.” It will be an exciting opportunity to hear an update and overview of the Master Plan from Scott Page at the event.
Good Morning Macon will take place on November 12, 2014, at the Navicent Cancer Center (800 First Street, Macon, GA) in the Peyton Anderson Cancer Center Lobby. The continental breakfast will begin at 8am and the forum will be underway from 8:30-9:30am. The event is free for members and $10 for future members. We invite you to RSVP online or call 478-621-2001. Supporting sponsors include Navicent Health, NewTown Macon, and iHeart Radio.
