Macon, GA, is one of Georgia's several major employee hubs. Some of the largest industries include health care, manufacturing, education, insurance, government and military support. The biggest advances are affordability, housing, utilities and transportation. We are a friendly southern community, with historical neighborhoods, local restaurants and music and short commute times. We are centrally located — about an hour and a half distance to Atlanta and Savannah. Macon is known as the “Heart of Georgia,” offering outdoor activities at the Ocmulgee National Park and along the Ocmulgee River, the International Cherry Blossom Festival each spring, live music, museums, history and architecture.
