Don Martin Steps Down After 12 Years

After 12 years of service, Forsyth County Commissioner Don Martin is retiring July 31st — fulfilling a promise to his wife made four years ago. Proud of his legacy, he highlights major voter-backed projects like the 2016 school bond and 2020 sales tax, which funded school upgrades, teacher pay raises, and new facilities including libraries, a courthouse, a science museum, and Tanglewood Park improvements. He also credits the county’s pandemic response, economic development bringing over $1 billion in investment and nearly 2,200 jobs, and personal plans to spend more time with family and finally take that long-awaited cruise. The county will soon announce his replacement. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
