MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb County is making areas surrounding the Booker T. Washington Community Center cleaner and safer by demolishing three blighted homes next door.
60 children attend the center’s youth programs each day. Kids like Naiem Moore have to pass dilapidated homes on their walk to the center.
“I feel like something needs to be done about these houses,” Moore said. “Nobody really thinks about building these houses up around this neighborhood.”
