Macon-Bibb County, GA advances blight removal efforts with new reporting and tracking tool
Macon-Bibb County developed the tool for improved clearance of an estimated 6,000 blighted properties. The county's IT team worked with community organizations and residents on app design with a prototype presentation at a community event. Residents of the Pleasant Hill Historic District report blighted properties, submit photo evidence, and receive notifications from Code Enforcement officials in the app. The tool helps the county with blight identification and street-level communications.
