MACON, Ga. Monday afternoon’s breeze blew around a couple of balloon bouquets tethered to what used to be a plain white building.
Colorful murals coming to life at 880 Pio Nono Ave. hint at the future of the old Hillcrest Cleaners as the ATAP Community Center at the corner of Hendley Street.
Macon-Bibb County’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved Sherry Williams-Mitchell’s request to use the building to mentor youth, their parents and artists through ATAP, which stands for All Things Are Possible.
Williams-Mitchell, who told commissioners she moved here from California, is the “Chief Equipping Officer” for the organization that serves the Golden State along with Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Mississippi and Georgia.
