Why Pleasant Hill?
Pleasant Hill, a historically Black neighborhood, is one of Macon’s most historically and culturally significant neighborhoods. Located just north of Downtown Macon, Pleasant Hill has experienced decades of disinvestment. In the 1960s, the construction of I-75 cut the neighborhood in half, displacing residents, reducing property values, and severing resident connections. Macon’s RCC initiative aims to restore connection across I-75, improve sidewalks and green spaces, and create opportunities for economic and social connection in Pleasant Hill.
