Forsyth County District 4 Commissioner Patrick Bell will hold a town hall meeting regarding Bethel Park Tuesday, March 3 at 6:30 PM. The meeting will be held at Chestatee Elementary School, located at 6945 Keith Bridge Road (Highway 306).
A map can be found by clicking hereThis will not be a Q&A session, the format will follow standard Public Comments to allow attendees as much an opportunity to provide input and comments regarding Bethel Park. The time scheduled is 1 1/2 hours with 45 minutes afforded both proponents and opponents.
For those not aware of the issue, Forsyth County and the US Army Corps of Engineers are currently in litigation. Forsyth County claims the Corps did not offer Bethel Park to the county prior to offering it to the YMCA. The YMCA has proposed building a summer camp facility and Forsyth County had proposed an RV Park and Learning Center. Forsyth County filed suit against the Corps of Engineers and has a hearing pending.
As the new District 4 Representative, Commissioner Bell is soliciting input at this meeting regarding this park and the lawsuit. All Forsyth County residents and any interested persons are invited and encouraged to attend. If you cannot attend, please send comments to Commissioner Bell at PBBell@forsythco.com
