Boosting The Economy Through Small Business In Macon, Georgia



by C. Henry Adams


You know, perhaps as we get older.  Excuse me.  LOL   As we mature in life, it has been brought to attention that having patience truly is a virtue or behavior showing high moral standards.

Fore, thinking clearly regarding a subject requires a clear path to comprehension or understanding it.

That being said, the consolidation of the City of Macon with the County of Bibb was and is in my professional opinion, a brilliant idea to which all people living in the Middle portion of the State of Georgia could possibly benefit.

On Wednesday Morning, from the hours of 10:00 am until 2:00 pm EST, I had the opportunity to experience what I could only describe as a boost in the Middle Georgia Economy.

Perhaps you may ask, what could that be?   Well, located in the Historical Macon Terminal Station on the fourth floor was the ' 2015 Fall  Business Development Resource Forum '.

This forum was brought forth by the ' Office of Small Business Affairs ' from the Macon-Bibb County Government.  This particular Department is lead by Dr. James Louis Bumpus, Director.

The event was very well thought out.   It had a list of Presenters who discuss a wide range of actions to take in establishing a business or greatly improving your current business.

It did not matter what side of the political spectrum that you reside.  It did not matter what was your race or ethnic background.  It did not matter what was your gender.  However, to conduct business in this Great City and County combined, there were certain requirements and perhaps being a Citizen of the United States of America would be a benefit.

Without going into greater detail, below we list the organizations who were represented:

  1. Macon-Bibb County Legal Department
  2. Macon-Bibb County Business Development Services
  3. Georgia Department of Administrative Services
  4. Central Georgia Technical College
  5. Georgia Technology - Enterprise Innovation Institute
  6. Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council
  7. NOW Corporation
  8. Operation HOPE, Inc.
  9. SCORE  Middle Georgia
Macon, Georgia, as well as, Central Georgia is an ideal location to grow a business or expand one.

I would like to thank Dr. James Louis Bumpus, the Director of  Macon-Bibb County's Office of Small Business Affairs for assisting Small Business in Central Georgia.  The ' 2015 Fall Business Development Resource Forum ' was greatly appreciated.

So, those are my thoughts, what are yours?

A Special Thanks goes out to the Catering Company of the Event!
