<div  class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-rich-text fl-node-uxe3t0l2bhys" data-node="uxe3t0l2bhys">
	<p>William D. Underwood is stepping down after nearly two decades as Chair of NewTown Macon's Board of Directors, and we're incredibly grateful for everything he's brought to this organization and our downtown community.</p>
<p>His vision and dedication have shaped so much of what makes downtown Macon special today. Read the full letter below to learn more about his impact and the milestones achieved during his time with NewTown. Keep scrolling for photos of President Underwood over the years.</p>
<hr />
<p>"As the year comes to an end, we would like to express our gratitude to President Underwood for his leadership as the chair of NewTown's board of directors for the past 18 years. Under President Underwood's leadership, downtown has transformed and been recognized as one of the best downtown experiences in the nation, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the NewTown board of directors under President Underwood.</p>
<p>As President Underwood often stated, what's good for downtown is good for Mercer, and this is the relationship we have witnessed since NewTown's founding in 1996. Mercer has been an essential partner in downtown's revitalization, and President Underwood has been a faithful steward, directing investments into downtown, such as the McEachern Art Center, Mercer Music at Capricorn, and, most recently and notably, the relocation of Mercer Medicine to Riverside Drive.</p>
<p>In the 19 years that President Underwood has served, not only has downtown been transformed, but so has NewTown. During President Underwood's tenure, NewTown has established downtown Macon's first Business Improvement District, absorbed Macon's Main Street program, and become Central Georgia's first Community Development Financial Institution, making NewTown one of the most robust and innovative downtown development organizations in the nation.</p>
<p>President Underwood has provided a steadfast and unwavering commitment to downtown Macon and NewTown Macon as an organization. When faced with the unthinkable loss of President and CEO Josh Rogers last year, President Underwood guided the board through crises, ensuring no loss of momentum in the organization's efforts. As a result, NewTown has experienced one of its most financially successful years to date, with over $100 million of development currently underway in the downtown area.</p>
<p>NewTown Macon is forever grateful to President Underwood for his guidance, his questions, and his wisdom in helping downtown Macon become one of the greatest downtowns in America. We wish him well as he transitions to Mercer's School of Law and enjoys the downtown he helped build."</p>

	<h3 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Macon-Bibb County Commission Establishes </strong><strong>“Josh Rogers Way”</strong></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">MACON, GA – At Tuesday night’s meeting, Mayor Lester Miller sponsored an ordinance to honor the life and legacy of Josh Rogers by dedicating the block of Third Street between Poplar Street and Cherry Street as <strong>“</strong>Josh Rogers Way.” The Macon-Bibb County Commission unanimously approved the ordinance, ensuring Josh’s enduring impact will remain visible in the heart of downtown Macon.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Josh Rogers passed away unexpectedly on November 24, 2024, leaving the community he loved mourning an extraordinary leader, friend, and visionary. The dedication of Josh Rogers Way serves as a permanent reminder of his unwavering commitment to building a fairer and more vibrant Macon.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It is fitting that we dedicate this portion of downtown Macon in Josh’s honor,” said Alex Morrison, Director of Planning and Public Spaces for Macon-Bibb County and Executive Director of the Macon-Bibb Urban Development Authority. “Josh inspired us to dream big <em>for</em> people, and this area will soon transform into a landmark gathering space imagined by Maconites through the Macon Action Plan.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Throughout his career –from his early service with the City of Macon, to leading Historic Macon’s revitalization of Beall’s Hill, to transforming NewTown Macon into Central Georgia’s first CDFI, establishing downtown’s Business Improvement District, and guiding downtown to Great American Main Street recognition –Josh championed a vision of Macon where opportunity belonged to everyone. He empowered residents to build wealth through entrepreneurship, homeownership, and shared prosperity.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Josh Rogers was a true servant leader whose infectious enthusiasm for Macon and strategic vision inspired transformative community change. When asked what was integral to the success of downtown Macon’s revitalization he would quickly answer “togetherness.” He believed that a shared vision implemented arm in arm by Macon’s citizens was the difference between Macon’s success and failure and proved this through his ability to bring Maconites together. Throughout his tenure at NewTown Macon, he leveraged nearly $616 million to invest in Macon’s people and places.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We are stronger, kinder, and more united because of Josh, his leadership, and, most importantly, his love for our community,” said Mayor Miller. “Our children and grandchildren will all benefit from his forward-thinking vision and ability to bring people together to make that vision a reality. He truly was a shining example of what it means to be part of Team Macon-Bibb.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">NewTown Macon will host a formal dedication and announce plans for future developments along Josh Rogers Way in early 2026.</p>
