On this week’s episode of Macon It, we sit down with Jerry Battle, Macon-Bibb’s Neighborhood Programs Coordinator, to talk about what drives his work and how he’s helping build stronger neighborhoods across the county.

In the conversation, Battle shares his journey –– from years of working in the Recreation Department to stepping into this new role focused on community engagement. He talks about the importance of meeting people where they are, listening to their needs, and making sure every neighborhood feels seen, supported, and connected.

You’ll also hear more about the Macon Good Neighbors initiative, a hands-on effort focused on improving neighborhoods one area at a time by connecting residents with County resources like cleanups, beautification, and enhanced services.
