Forsyth County Courthouse Project

Forsyth County: The difference
is our community.

As architects, we make our living by
creating new and exciting places where
people and businesses want to be. Our
most successful projects are found in
places where the citizens, businesses
and government are working together
toward a common goal of creating a
great place to live, work and play.
This is precisely how I describe my
experience both living and working
in Forsyth County. It is common
knowledge that Forsyth has been one
of the fastest growing counties in the
U.S. for over a decade. Our top-ranking
schools, low cost of living and overall
quality of life are common reasons why
residents and businesses move here.
Clearly, these achievements could not
happen without the hard work and
passion of many.

What makes Forsyth County a great
place to be, whether you’re a resident
or a business, is the community. At
the end of the day, everyone here truly
wants Forsyth to be the best place
to live, work and play, and we work
together to make great things happen.
The awards and accolades Forsyth
County has received are certainly
something to be proud of; but for me,
it’s this great community that I take the
most pride in.
