Mission

INVEST TIME, RESOURCES, AND MONEY IN LOCAL PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES TO REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN MACON.

  • COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (CDFI): NEWTOWN MACON (THROUGH ITS SUBSIDIARY NEWTOWN LOANS, LLC) HAS BEEN DESIGNATED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY AS A CDFI. THE CDFI FACILITATES THE LARGER STRATEGY OF INCREASING DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS BY FUNDING LOFT DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE REAL ESTATE LOAN FUND AND GROWING JOBS BY PROVIDING CAPITAL AND MENTORING TO ENTREPRENEURS. THE REAL ESTATE LOAN FUND WAS ESTABLISHED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MACON- BIBB URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND MACON-BIBB COUNTY. WE USE BOND FUNDS IN VIABLE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN SOURCES OF FUNDS (INCLUDING OWNER EQUITY, TRADITIONAL FINANCING AND HISTORIC TAX CREDITS) AND THE ACTUAL COST TO REHABILITATE OR BUILD REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS DOWNTOWN. AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE CFI HAD 13.7 MILLION OF LOANS IN SERVICE ON PROJECTS. IN TOTAL, CDFI'S REAL ESTATE LOANS PRODUCED PROJECTS WITH MARKET VALUES OF 147 MILLION, EXPECTED TO PRODUCE 378 RESIDENTIAL LOFTS AND REHABILITATE OVER 926,658 SQUARE FEET OF UNDERUTILIZED BUILDINGS. THE CDFI ALSO PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR ENTREPRENEURS. WE OFFER A VARIETY OF SERVICES INCLUDING SHEPHERDING APPLICANTS THROUGH THE PERMIT PROCESS, ONE- ON-ONE MENTORSHIP COUNSELING, AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL THROUGH LOANS, EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND JOINT VENTURES. OUR STAFF SERVED OVER 600 INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEURS DURING THE YEAR THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP TRAINING PROGRAMS. IN TOTAL BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE CDFI HAD CLOSED 9 BUSINESS LOANS, FOR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 671,000. THESE SERVICES ATTRACT BUSINESSES TO DOWNTOWN, VERIFIED BY A TOTAL OF 7 NET NEW BUSINESSES OPENING IN DOWNTOWN MACON DURING THE FISCAL YEAR.

    Expenses $1,577,700 · Revenue $1,106,408

  • CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE: A DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS BOTH LIVABLE AND WALKABLE, SO NEWTOWN MACON IS PROMOTING THE DOWNTOWN LIFESTYLE AND PROVIDING RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. NEWTOWN PROMOTES A SENSE OF PLACE BY MANAGING FIRST FRIDAY EVENTS, BEAUTIFYING THE STREETS, PROMOTING DOWNTOWN EVENTS, AND PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OCMULGEE HERITAGE TRAIL. NEWTOWN MACON ALSO PROMOTES DOWNTOWN LIVING THROUGH MARKETING AND BRANDING, AND BY HELPING PEOPLE FIND A PLACE TO LIVE THROUGH THE LOFT FINDER ONLINE SERVICE AT NEWTOWNMACON.COM/LOFT-FINDER. THROUGH THESE STRATEGIES, DOWNTOWN MACON IS ATTRACTING NEW RESIDENTS. WE ENDED THE YEAR AT OUR GOAL OF 92% OCCUPANCY WITHIN DOWNTOWN MACON'S LOFT RENTAL UNITS.

    Expenses $992,389 · Grants $192,021 · Revenue $311,214

  • THE OCMULGEE HERITAGE TRAIL (OHT) OHT CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF OUR MAIN FOCUSES AS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. NEWTOWN MACON RUNS AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO PLAN AND MANAGE EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND RAISE PRIVATE FUNDS TO ENABLE THESE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH THE OHT CONSTRUCTION FUND. ONCE IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETE, NEWTOWN TURNS THE IMPROVEMENTS OVER TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO RUN AS PUBLIC PARK SPACE IN PERPETUITY. THE COMMITTEE FINALIZED A NEW MASTER PLAN TO GUIDE THE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF TRAIL DEVELOPMENT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
