Our Story
The Macon-Bibb County Economic Opportunity Council, Inc. was established in 1965 as part of the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Department, following the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. This organization became a City-County agency through a joint resolution of the Bibb County Board of Commissioners and the Macon City Council. In 1985, it transitioned into an incorporated, private, non-profit agency governed by a dedicated fifteen-member board.
