The consolidation of Macon and Bibb county is receiving funding to make the transition more transparent for neighbors.

The Knight Foundation donated $62,200 to the transition task force.
The money will be used to buy new equipment to stream all meetings online as well as archive them.
The grant will also fund a website dedicated to keeping residents informed about the consolidation of Macon and Bibb County.

"The $62,200 grant will help forward the transition task force's goal of creating a new, consolidated Macon-Bibb County
focused on serving the public, rather than merely merging the two existing governments," said Chris Floore, City of Macon
Director of Public Affairs.
