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.
