How Neighborhood Revitalization Works
Historic Macon Foundation's programs in Neighborhood Revitalization are a national example of saving entire historic neighborhoods to create diverse, attractive neighborhoods for years to come. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has even recognized our efforts with a prestigious Honor Award. Currently, Historic Macon Foundation is revitalizing the historic Beall's Hill neighborhood. Bounded by Orange Terrace, College St., Telfair/First St. and Elm St., the neighborhood is a showcase of historic buildings dating from the 1860s to the early twentieth century. Historic Macon Foundation makes strategic investments with private funds to revitalize entire neighborhoods not just one house at a time, but block by block. We rehabilitate existing historic structures to meet the United States Secretary of the Interior's Standards for rehabilitation. On empty lots, we build new houses with historic charm that fit right in. We even built Macon's first dog park and shade tree nursery as part of our neighbrohood revitalization programs. Working holistically and focusing on one neighborhood at a time means that we create sustainable and diverse neighborhoods where people of all walks of life will enjoy living for generations. Thanks to incentives like Mercer University's Down Payment Assistance program, and state and federal tax credit programs, owning a landmark historic building is well within your reach.
