FAQs
Forsyth County Community & Economic Development (CED) Department is working with a community just east of Rural Hall, along Highway 65, to secure grant funding for the extension of public water to that area. If awarded, the Community Development Block Grant funding would provide up to $2 million for the project which would include the installation of the water main along Highway 65 and the cost of connection for low-to-moderate income homeowners.
Forsyth County CED staff is working with the community throughout August and September to develop the application including the completion of required community surveys and getting residential wells tested.
