Revitalizing Macon's Eisenhower Corridor

One Project at a Time

01.
Safety
Eisenhower BID Security Patrol is comprised of off-duty Macon Bibb County Sheriff’s Deputies. They patrol the district 7 days a week to deter crime, panhandling and loitering. They are also there to perform good will gestures. EBID businesses have a direct line to the EBID Security Phone.
02.
Cleanliness
Eisenhower BID utilizes a Porter Service to pick up trash, grocery carts and illegal signage along Eisenhower Parkway. A clean area encourages respect for the area, discouraging littering and dumping.

03.
Beautification
The Eisenhower Corridor has set itself apart through our beautification efforts. From the landscape redesign of I-475 Exit 3 to the regularly manicured Eisenhower Parkway medians that boast beautiful wildflowers twice a year, it is obvious we care about our district and community.
04.
Marketing
Eisenhower BID maintains focus on the Eisenhower Commercial Corridor as a vital part of Macon Bibb County via our Website, Online Business Directory and Map and Social Media presence.
