November 3, 2026 Commission Meeting Pt. 1

The Macon-Bibb County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting was held November 3, 2026. Commissioners unanimously approved consent agenda items A–R. A public commenter identified a Fiscal Year 2023 Federal Highway Administration grant for development work in the historic Pleasant Hill neighborhood as having been approved through the consent process; the transcript provides no grant amount or vendor. Item S was reserved for a separate vote concerning Larry Smallwood, but its outcome is not included in this transcript.

The commenter also raised concerns about proposed U.S. Senate Bill 5653, the American Affordability and Jobs Act, and its potential effects on historic-preservation reviews, including projects in Macon-Bibb County. The mayor said commissioners would follow up with their congressional representatives. No contract award or other purchasing decision was detailed.
