Macon / Bibb County:
-
On November 5, 2019, the voters of Bibb County approved a renewal of the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) by more than 75 percent to help continue making improvements to our school district for another 5 years from January 1, 2021. This is the fifth ESPLOST campaign by the Bibb County School District, with previous campaigns in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. A study by the Georgia Tech Research Institute found that more than 70 percent of sales tax funds are collected from non-Bibb County residents.
-
Previous ESPLOST campaigns have allowed the District to fund new schools such as Heard Elementary, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, Northwoods Academy, Howard Middle and High, Southwest High, Ingram-Pye Elementary, Central High, Ballard-Hudson Middle, Bruce Elementary, Alexander II Magnet, Rutland Middle and High, Skyview Elementary, Vineville Academy, and more; facility improvements and upgrades; athletic improvements and upgrades; technology infrastructure improvements; security enhancements; and more. An overview of projects funded by ESPLOST campaigns is below.
ESPLOST Goals: Although some are school-specific, the majority of the projects will involve and improve facilities and services district wide. More efficient buildings, facilities and vehicles mean reduced maintenance and operations costs. Security improvements increase safety on our campuses. State-of-the-art technology devices and software provide the tools needed for today's learning environments. All BCSD students will benefit.

Recruiting and Hiring
Our partnership with The Middle Georgia Innovation Project will enhance opportunities for variety of employment opportunities for a Company and their spouses. We have been preparing Central Georgia for growth and job demand for several years. We are ready!
Helping a Company to find the best and brightest workforce is a top priority. We pledge to take our recruitment assistance one step further and focus on the entire family unit. A customized website for spouses and dependents of a Company will be developed providing access to job openings in Middle Georgia. The service we will offer will be personalized to each individual with an opportunity to find jobs that fit their interests and skill sets and a pathway for accessing additional training and education if needed. Coupled with the online platform will be a response team to offer more one-on-one counseling and guidance on needs from housing, to education to health care and beyond. Our goal is to make all feel "at home" as quickly as possible.
The economic developers across the 11-county region are members of a proactive group named the Middle Georgia Economic Alliance (MGEA.) The group has been working together as a collaborative for the past 15 years. Workforce development has become a focus for their organization and organizations across the nation that are in the business of recruiting new companies and responding to the needs of existing companies in their communities. For this reason, the economic developers are working closely to enhance the relationships between their educational institutions and local industries to communicate the needs of employers and provide relevant career pathways for students. A regional job portal, MGEA Works, is available to assist employers and job seekers to better connect.
