to occur every other month, this initiative has been well-received by the community. On the green initiatives front, Warner Robins is installing EV charging stations as part of its downtown revitalization efforts, a project spearheaded by Hogan. “It was one of our revitalization tools for trying to bring more people down, especially at lunchtime,” she remarks. She details the installation of four EV chargers, including two DC fast chargers, which provide a quick 45-minute charge. “We are trying to encourage more lunch traffic to our small businesses on that frontage street to Robins Air Force Base,” she explains. The project, funded through the Department of Energy’s Energy developments. “All of our plans when it comes to areas around Commercial Circle involve densely populated areas and including as many mixed-use communities as we could hold,” she elaborates. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND GREEN INITIATIVES Community engagement is a cornerstone of Warner Robins, and ensuring residents have a direct line to city leadership remains a central focus. Mayor Patrick emphasizes how the city prioritizes accessibility and transparency. “I’d say that the whole city has an open-door policy,” she states, adding that the administration is always ready to listen to residents’ concerns and ideas. To facilitate this, she introduced “Moment with the Mayor,” an initiative that allows constituents to have a ten-minute pitch session with her. “Many of them are coming with ideas of things they want to see inside of our community,” she notes, highlighting the open dialogue that this program offer.
