Butler Snow LLP is pleased to congratulate the Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority and Macon-Bibb County on the opening of the new Atrium Health Amphitheater. Our firm is proud to have played a role in the realization of this significant community asset.
The new amphitheater, along with the redevelopment of the rest of the former Macon Mall site, marks a milestone in the Macon-Bibb's cultural and recreational landscape. The state-of-the-art facility has the capacity to accommodate large audiences and promises to be a hub for live entertainment and community events. The project will serve as a catalyst for additional economic development in and around an area that many had overlooked.
"As a non-Macon native who loves my adopted community, I was especially proud to have assisted the Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority and Macon-Bibb County to bring this vision to life," said Blake C. Sharpton, a Butler Snow attorney and assistant practice group leader of the firm's Public Finance, Tax Incentives & Credit Markets Group. "Our group has experience across all areas of municipal finance, economic development, and construction, which enabled us to play various roles in this project, partnering with the Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority and Macon-Bibb County on it from start to finish."
The project's success underscores the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders, including government entities, private investors, and community organizations. From securing funding to navigating legal complexities, Butler Snow provided comprehensive legal counsel to ensure the project's smooth execution.
As Macon unveils its newest cultural landmark, Butler Snow looks forward to continuing to collaborate with communities across Georgia and beyond, supporting projects that enrich lives and foster economic development and growth.
