Sign up for either the Monday night or Thursday day session! Macon County is evaluating new district maps that will impact the make up of the Board of County Commissioners. The current map has been in existence for 50 years. Any new map that is selected will likely be in effect for decades. It’s important that the public weigh in on these maps to ensure equal representation and accountability. Some of the options being considered are unfair and under-represent areas of our county.
Dr. Amy Patterson has offered to explain the current process and the map options being considered through an information session. The Planning Board is having a meeting on July 2 at 5 p.m. It is likely they will make a recommendation for one of these maps at that meeting. It’s critical that the public attend this meeting, give public comments on redistricting and send letters to county commissioners regarding this topic.
