The M design was inspired by the “I Love Macon” campaign in 2012 that a group of young community leaders created as a way to encourage people who live in Macon to focus on the positive aspects of the community. The 8 foot statue was created by Jamie Ragan, who was inspired by the “I Love Macon” campaign. With a Knight Neighborhood Challenge grant of $20,000 that she had won in April 2013, she started work on creating the sculpture. “I wanted to make something kind of representing we’re moving forward as a city.” The sculpture debut in August 2014.
