The primary goal for the City Website is to provide residents and customers with a flexible website that allows for easy and convenient access to information concerning city departments and the services each provide, as well as offering a quick resource for direct linkage to many important regional agencies.

Additionally, IT Communications division provides and maintains all City/County Fire Department, City Police vehicles/ police officers, and Emergency Ambulance Service mobile radio units; as well as the regional 800 MHz radio transmission towers.

Cable Channel 14 – IT controls and maintains the equipment and content for all programming transmitted to the citizens of Macon daily on our 24-hour City Government Channel 14.

Telephone System Implementation – IT is currently rolling out a new telephone system that, upon completion, will include new telephone units for a majority of the city departments.
