Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department will hold a public information meeting Tuesday, October 13th regarding the design of two planned recreation centers in the south part of the county.

"The county has plans for two future recreation centers in south Forsyth County - one on the Fowler property and one on the Buice property," Director of Parks and Recreation Jerry Kinsey said. "The purpose of this upcoming meeting is to share with residents the preliminary proposed plans for these centers and to get feedback from citizens."

Preliminary plans call for both centers to be multi-purpose facilities and to include two gym floors, meeting rooms, classrooms, exercise area and indoor track.

The public information meeting will be held October 13 at 7 p.m. in the Commissioners Meeting Room of the County Administration Building, located at 110 E. Main Street in Cumming.

Forsyth County Schools' student performance on the 2008-2009 ACT ranked number one in Georgia and exceed national scores for all content areas. Additionally, South Forsyth High School was recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as being a school with one of the ten highest composite scores in the State.

The ACT is a curriculum-based college entrance exam that is universally accepted by four-year colleges and universities. Unlike the SAT, which is an aptitude test, the ACT measures what a student has learned as a result of high school coursework in English, reading, math, and science.

Additionally, FCS had a 17.5% increase in the number of students participating in the ACT, almost twice the number taking the test since 2005.
