GET INVOLVED

Forward 2045 was adopted by the Winston-Salem City Council on November 18, 2024, and the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners on August 25, 2025. With the adoption of the Plan, it now serves as the official comprehensive plan for the City and County. The next step is to move forward with implementation of the goals and recommendations of the Plan. This implementation process will need input from the community to ensure that it aligns with the community's vision for the future. Information on future public participation opportunities will be listed on this page.

Upcoming Public Meetings

A series of public meetings will be held at the end of August/beginning of September to gather input and opinions on possible changes to housing development regulations. For more information, go to the Housing page.

If you are unable to make a meeting, you can provide your input through our online housing land use survey here. The survey contains the same questions as those posed during the meetings. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

To review the plan, visit the Plan Documents page.
