MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) NewTown Macon is doing their Love Local campaign for the month of February. It’s where you can write a love letter to your favorite downtown business. You can potentially win a hundred dollar gift card to a business of your choice.
Emily Hopkins is the director of Place for NewTown Macon. She says the idea was inspired by another Main Street community in Maryland. Hopkins says with 2020 being a tough year for everyone, this is one-way people can show local businesses some love.
“It’s a great opportunity for the month of February to let business owners know how much they’re appreciated by our community,” says Hopkins.

MACON, Ga. Downtown Macon merchants and business owners heard an impromptu progress report Tuesday on Mayor Lester Miller’s first 30 days in office.
Miller, who at the end of last year succeeded the longest-serving mayor in the city’s history, attended the monthly meeting of the Downtown Macon Community Association on Zoom.
The local attorney, businessman and former school board president said he “hit the ground running” to help people experiencing homelessness after two people died of hypothermia on Christmas, days before he took office.
