What matters for project planning
Macon-Bibb publishes property-level flood-hazard mapping for the Ocmulgee watershed and notes that those maps inform building and remodeling requirements. Its Cotton Avenue account also documents a sloping river-oriented commercial corridor with nineteenth-century roots and later Black business and music history.
