Earlier this year, the county removed two Confederate monuments from this location and on Poplar Street and placed them in the Confederate cemetery at Rose Hill. This space will be redeveloped as a pedestrian plaza, following the recommendation of the original Macon Action Plan. The reimagined space will offer more opportunities for the community to connect and enjoy downtown’s public sphere. Learn more about the redevelopment of Cotton Avenue Plaza from the Urban Development Authority’s Executive Director, Alex Morrison in the video below.
