FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. â A mixed-use development proposed next to Brandywine Elementary School received the greenlight from the Forsyth County Commission at its April 15 meeting. Commissioners also approved an application for a business billed as Forsyth Countyâs first farm winery.
The approval of the rezoning request for the 19-acre site at 100 McFarland Parkway paves the way for applicant Liu Investment Partners to construct 67 townhomes with about 51,000-square feet of office/retail space dubbed Villages at Brandywine.
The plan also calls for amenities like pocket parks, a playground, walking trails, a picnic area and open spaces.
The proposal to rezone was first presented in 2016, but the brakes were pumped on the project until this year. Recently, the timeline has picked up, with the Planning Commission recommending approval, 4-1, last month ahead of the Board of Commissionerâs final approval last week.
