MACON, Ga. (AP) — One Georgia city will welcome 2025 with a larger-than-average bang. The Macon-Bibb County Commission on Tuesday approved a plan to implode a vacant 16-story hotel at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

The city-county agreed on Tuesday to hire a demolition firm to blow up the building at a cost of up to $2.6 million, local news outlets report. “We acquired this property to blow it up,” Macon Mayor Lester Miller told WMAZ-TV.
