When are they going to install cameras around this area and around Mercer University with live feeds into 911 Center or Bibb County Police. What is the plan to make Mercer safe? This problem is not going away. What is the Mayor’s plan to protect residents, citizens, and Macon’s #1 asset, Mercer University?
