Warner Robins, GA — Robins Federal Credit Union employees created 50 care packages for deployed troops stationed overseas during the holidays. The packages contained personal care items, snack foods, and entertainment items such as playing cards.

“This is the fourth year that Robins Federal employees have participated in this project. We are proud to provide deployed troops a little piece of home during the holiday season. It’s a small way for us to say, thank you, for their dedication, and sacrifice,” said John Rhea, President/CEO of Robins Federal Credit Union.

Robins Federal Credit Union is a local non-profit financial cooperative with nineteen branches in central Georgia. Robins Federal currently provides financial services to over 152,000 members, with assets exceeding $1.8 billion. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in the 16 counties Robins Federal serves.

Bibb County's Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to vote today on the proposal to demolish the historic Tremont Temple Baptist Church at 860 Forsyth St. in downtown Macon.

The Design Review Board has recommend opposing the plan.

The Planning and Zoning Commission heard a plan weeks ago from a developer who is seeking a permit to raze the building to make way for the construction of a new Dunkin' Donuts.

The commission delayed its vote to get an opinion from the Design Review Board.

The Design Review Board heard from both sides, including the contractor, a representative of the Historic Macon Foundation and a few residents and made the decision last week to recommend opposing the demolition.

The unanimous decision was made based on the building's past and its architecture, in order to maintain the historical preservation of the neighborhood.
