Forsyth County Citizens are invited to learn about a proposed new detention center at two informational sessions to be held in August.
In November, Forsyth County voters will have the opportunity to vote on a referendum regarding construction of a new detention center. Those interested in learning about the proposed detention center are invited to attend informational sessions on Tuesday, August 12 and Tuesday, August 26.
Both meetings begin at 6 p.m. and will be held in the Sheriff's Office Conference Room in the Government Building located at 101 E. Main Street in Cumming.
The current plan calls for the proposed detention center to be constructed on county-owned property on Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Cumming, with approximately 226,000 square feet and the capacity to house 480 inmates. The plan may be subject to change as the engineering process continues.
