Mercer University 7500 students 10 schools & colleges in Atlanta and Macon Princeton Review “Highly Selective” US News “Top 10 Regional Universities” Princeton Review “College with a Conscience”

Impact on Downtown Revitalization Renovation and management of Grand Opera House Master lease on 150 loft apartments (first residential investment in downtown) Major multi-disciplinary medical clinic Hilton Garden Hotel Renovation of downtown block for office space (University & commercial)

Why the University?? Anchor institution with major investment in campus & historic identity in Macon Strong & varied human resources Broad economic perspective & understanding of urban problems

Building Partnerships Able to convene and facilitate partnerships across sectors Able to help shape holistic solutions to economic problems Able to bring long range and stable perspective to development

Leveraging Resources University brings fund raising and grant writing expertise University interest in vital community transcends bottom-line economic value of investment Access to marginal equity is often difference between success and failure

What It Takes Community University Identifying common interests Building trust, communication, resilience Working with high capacity, reliable partners University Acknowledging the University’s political and economic responsibility Acquiring hands-on expertise or creating reliable vehicle for investment

The Biggest Challenge? Incorporating Authentic Community Voice Distressed communities are inherently unequal in power Distressed communities rarely have well-developed political structures University may play dual role as neighborhood advocate and self-interested party
