What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Macon-Bibb County leaders approved a resolution for a revenue bond worth up to $30 million to prepare a construction site for a new Costco in Macon. The bond is intended to fund significant future traffic and infrastructure improvements to accommodate the store. Costco will front the project money, and the county will repay it over time based on the store's revenue once it opens.
