# Board of County Commissioners Meeting - Oct 01, 2026

The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners meeting, identified in the title as October 1, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 2 UTC), included a public hearing on minor amendments to Chapters 3–9 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The board unanimously approved the amendments, which clarify ordinance language, align provisions with state law, and remove a three-year renewal requirement for limited-condition use permits. The board also unanimously approved a resolution recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a proclamation recognizing WinstonNet’s digital-inclusion work. A resolution approving a septic-system agreement and easement across county-owned property for Horizons Residential Care Center also passed unanimously.

The board considered a county-owned property declared surplus, with a negotiated offer of $328,450 from adjoining owner James Perkins. A motion not to surplus the property failed; the board then approved advertising the offer for the upset-bid process, reportedly by a 4–3 vote. Public comments raised concerns about development-related runoff, a proposed hyperscale data center and possible moratorium or UDO rules, and county property stewardship. The meeting also included tax-refund resolutions and a briefing on a future rezoning request. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified.
