Macon-Bibb County says the project is using "historically underutilized property" provided by the Macon-Bibb County Land Bank Authority, to create a walkable neighborhood interconnected to school, transit, employment and healthcare services.

Funding for the new neighborhood comes from the Macon-Bibb County Affordable Housing Fund, which says Tindall Field will provide the community with direct pathways to homeownership through a $500,000 renewable line of credit.

“Tindall Fields is about access and opportunity,” said Natalie Bouyett, Director of the Macon-Bibb County Affordable Housing Fund, in a statement. “By pairing quality homes with supportive partnerships, we’re helping families put down roots and thrive right here in Macon-Bibb.”

Mayor Lester Miller added that the development is a step toward creating a vibrant community.

“Tindall Fields represents a meaningful step forward in ensuring that every family in Macon-Bibb has access to safe, affordable, and modern housing,” said Mayor Lester Miller in the release. “By transforming underutilized land into a vibrant, connected neighborhood, we are not only creating homes but also fostering stability, opportunity, and long-term investment in our community.”
