Dr. Dan Sims, superintendent of the Bibb County School District, said the district’s board "authorized the Bibb County School District on June 18 to enter into negotiations with Macon Bibb County for the acquisition of a 50 year land use interest in separate, secure, dedicated instructional space to be constructed at the New Macon Arena."
