Cumming Fairgrounds to be used as vaccination site
Some local vaccine distribution will be moved from the Forsyth County Department of Health to the Cumming Fairgrounds.
At a recent meeting, the Cumming City Council approved allowing vaccine distribution at Horton Hall at the fairgrounds as of Monday, Feb. 15. City Administrator Phil Higgins said he had recently met with officials with the department and Chris Grimes, Forsyth County Emergency Management Agency director, about why the fairgrounds would be a better location than the department’s office on Canton Highway.
“The challenge now, is the seating space inside the facility is small and parking is limited,” Higgins said. “They need more room for social distancing, and additional parking is desperately needed.”
