Smart Growth Forsyth County will be hosting its final forum in the "Meet the Candidate" series on Tuesday May 20, 2008 at 715pm with District 2 Candidates Charlie Smith and Joseph Moore and District 5 candidate, Jim Boff. District 5 candidates Julie Tressler, Terry Sweeney and Walter Wadell are being invited as this goes to press. This conludes a 3-part series which started in March, where Brian Tam and Mike Busse met area citizens and discussed issues related to growth in Forsyth County. April's meeting showcased Dave Richard, Jon Flack and Patrick Bell to a standing room only audience. This Q & A time will be held at the beginning of SGFC's monthly meeting at the Bridle Ridge Clubhouse located off GA141/Peachtree Parkway in Suwanee. All are invited to attend.
