Macon, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering Federal funding to upgrade transportation and recreation infrastructure for families in Macon-Bibb County.
Today, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Warnock announced a $500,000 Federal grant though the U.S. Department of Transportation for Macon-Bibb County’s Pleasant Hill Neighborhood, which is currently split by I-75.
The local project aims to develop a plan to reconnect the community and connect it with Macon-Bibb County’s downtown business district, strengthening families’ access to recreation, improving mobility, and increasing access to economic opportunity.
The Federal investment, which comes through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Neighborhood Access and Equity (NAE) Program, will go toward continued planning of the project.
“We are delivering historic resources to upgrade transportation and recreation infrastructure for Georgia families,” Sen. Ossoff said. “I thank President Biden, Vice President Harris, Secretary Buttigieg, and Assistant Secretary Coes for their support as we lead Georgia forward, and I commend Macon-Bibb County for their successful work bidding for this major award.”
Sen. Ossoff continues delivering resources to upgrade Georgia’s infrastructure.
Earlier this month, Sens. Ossoff and Warnock announced the State of Georgia will receive $122,457,266 in Federal resources for transit infrastructure upgrades across the state in Fiscal Year 2024, authorized by the bipartisan infrastructure law.
Last December, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Warnock delivered funding through the bipartisan infrastructure law to help local governments create and execute safety action plans aimed at improving road safety and preventing deaths and injuries to drivers and pedestrians.
