This layer delineates Development Nodes as developed in the 2022 - 2042 Forsyth County Comprehensive Plan adopted 10/20/2022. Development nodes were identified within each character area. Development nodes area areas where employment, commercial, and higher intensity uses should be concentrated to create regional, community, and neighborhood activity centers. There are three types of nodes, regional, community, and neighborhood. Please see the Forsyth County Website for the entire Comprehensive Plan and a detailed description of the Development Nodes.

Comprehensive Plan (2022 - 2042)

The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to guide the intensity, location and timing of development and to ensure compatibility with existing uses, infrastructure and economic trends while protecting natural and cultural resources.

Forsyth County's Comprehensive Plan serves as a policy guide as decisions are made in relation to growth and land use change. The plan addresses critical issues and opportunities through the incorporation of a shared vision for the community's future.

Please see the Forsyth County website for a complete copy of the plan as well as a .PDF of the Community Character Map.
