"You don't have to look very far to find large-scale projects and initiatives across the county to point to Forsyth County's success," said Chairman Alfred John. "Investments in major road improvements, new Parks & Recreation facilities, and announcements from international industry leaders moving their operations and headquarters here all point to Forsyth County being a major influencer on the metro-Atlanta region as well as the state."

This year's State of the County event also featured panel discussions with County officials and community leaders, providing a look at the strategic decisions moving our community forward. Panelists included:

• Forsyth County Fire Department Chief Barry Head
• Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman
• Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Joe Perkins
• Forsyth County Board of Education Chairman Mike Valdes
• Forsyth County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mitch Young

The annual event, hosted in partnership with the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, is an opportunity for residents and community-minded business leaders to get updated on the County's accomplishments, vision for the future and the priorities and plans that guide the County's decisions.
