Forsyth County has $36 Million to spend on Green Space Projects, and they would like your help figuring out how to spend it!
Today is our opportunity to partner with Forsyth County to help create a list of incredible Green Space ideas.
Personally, this writer would love one of the Green Space projects to include a Tree-Lined Paved Trail that could be enjoyed for jogging, walking, skating, & bike riding. Although we cannot presently afford to build a project similar to the 61-mile Comet Trail
(see www.silvercometga.com), it would still be an amazing gift for Forsyth to have a paved trail!
Maybe you have ideas for other types of Green Space Projects? Here is your chance to provide input!
The Forsyth County Board of commissioners are hosting a town hall meeting on Thursday, July 24th to discuss the issue of green space in Forsyth County,. The purpose is to receive citizen input relative to implementation of the green space acquisition portion of the parks, recreation and green space bond. In February, Forsyth County voters approved a $100 million parks, recreation and green space bond, of which $36 million is earmarked for green space.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Commissioners Meeting Room (Suite 220) in the County Administration Building located at 110 E. Main Street in Cumming. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.
Email your ideas to: Commissioner Charlie Laughinghouse & Mr. Doug Derrer
( cllaughinghouse@forsythco.com & dederrer@forsythco.com )
or, Attend the Citizen Input Meeting on Thursday the 24th. I hope you have an opportunity to get involved!
