# Bimonthly Morning Discussion Session - Sep 14, 2026

The Forsyth County Government held its bimonthly morning discussion session on September 14, 2026, featuring presentations on community survey results, health and human services updates, and planning and development services. The community survey presentation highlighted resident satisfaction with county services, noting high ratings for libraries, parks, EMS, and safety services, while areas like the airport and tax services received lower satisfaction. Communication challenges were discussed, including public confusion between city and county government roles and the need for improved engagement strategies. The health and human services update focused on the upcoming merger of local managed care organizations and significant Medicaid policy changes effective October 1, 2026, including new work requirements and re-certification processes that will impact many residents. The planning and development update reported stable staffing and workload, ongoing permit activity, and upcoming area plans and zoning amendments to guide future land use and housing options. While no direct procurement or contract awards were discussed, the meeting included budgetary and policy considerations related to service funding, communication efforts, and administrative capacity to manage new Medicaid mandates.
