BEAUTIFICATION

A well-groomed and well-maintained area is attractive to the people of Macon and to our visitors. But, more important than aesthetics is the safety a well-maintained area provides. When customers feel safe, a surplus of shopping and spending will occur, bringing revitalization into the Eisenhower district. Several of our beautifying initiatives include:

Cleaning up shrubbery along the streets
Coordinating repairs for broken infrastructures
Eliminating overgrowth along the corridor
Mowing grass along Eisenhower Parkway
Planting flower beds at major intersections
Pruning overgrown trees
Removing trash & illegal signage

SECURITY

The off-duty sheriff deputies meticulously patrol the entire district. Their presence is a deterrent to theft and burglary from businesses and motor vehicles. They also deter and report illegal activity to local authorities. The deputies handle a myriad of quality-of-life problems, perform goodwill gestures, and assist with traffic control.

The deputies patrol assigned routes, covering all zones in the district. They are professional, assertive, friendly, courteous individuals in excellent physical condition. The officers are in uniform and in a marked car.

In addition to our off-duty deputies, we recently installed 29 street lights for increased safety and visibility along the Eisenhower Corridor. Watch the incredible transformation here.
