Social Services building to be named after Walter Marshall
County Commissioners are considering naming the Social Services building after the late Walter Marshall.

Forsyth County commissioners voted during their Thursday, Sept. 28, meeting to rename the Social Services building after the late Walter Marshall.

Marshall was a county commissioner, former school board member and former local NAACP president who was a longtime member of the Social Services board. He passed away earlier this year.

The resolution, which commissioners passed unanimously, was initiated by Commissioner Fleming El-Amin, who was appointed to fill Marshall’s seat. It authorizes county staff to look into how the name change will take place.
