Super Tuesday in February will not only allow Forsyth County residents an opportunity to vote in the presidential primary, but also an opportunity to approve a $100M bond to purchase land and create more active and passive parks.

A citizens committee operating under the name "Envision Green Forsyth" will be presenting information about the bond issue as the February election approaches.

The ballot language approved by the commissioners today reads:

"Shall there be issued up to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Forsyth County general obligation bonds for the purpose of financing parks and recreational areas, programs, and facilities, including, but not limited to green spaces and conservation areas for the protection of lakes, river, forests, and wildlife habitats?"

According to sources within Envision Green Forsyth, this opportunity to enhance our county with additional amenities has widespread support, and will serve a wide variety of needs.

Look for more information about this project on this site as it becomes available.
