Maps available for viewing now at the Forsyth County Department of Engineering

Forsyth County’s flood risk information and flood hazard maps were recently revised. The public is invited to view the updated preliminary maps at an open house on Thursday, June 22, 2017, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, located at the County Administration Building, 110 E. Main Street, Suite 220, in Cumming.

The public will be able to view the preliminary maps to see how their flood risk may have changed, learn how that may affect building and flood insurance requirements and find out what their options are following the open house.
