MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)– Newtown Macon and several downtown businesses partner to bring a Black-Owned Businesses Tour to residents.
Emily Hopkins, the Director of Place at Newtown Macon says downtown has grown rapidly and become more diverse overtime.
“I think we’ve had 6 or 7 new black-owned businesses open this year,” Hopkins stated. “They all opened in the middle of a pandemic, which is really amazing and also shows some grit.”
Wayne Woodard, the owner of Ambitious Graphics, came up with the idea for the tour and says he wants to use it to motivate other entrepreneurs and shoppers as well.
