'Just a steady decay':
For the last five months, Macon-Bibb County has stepped up their effort to bust neighborhood blight. Now, they’re starting the push on commercial blight -- the large office spaces that are vacant and decaying around town.
Mayor Lester Miller gave us a list of 10 blighted properties that he says are the ones that create the most complaints to the county. For #13Investigates, Ashlyn Webb pulled property records to find out who owns Macon’s worst blight.
For years, the Shirley Hills neighborhood has watched this office space deteriorate.
“I see a dilapidated eyesore, especially from the other side of the building. From the interstate. It's halfway burned. There's graffiti all over it. It looks terrible,” said Katie White, president of the neighborhood association.
