Welcome from the Mayor

On behalf of the Village and the Board of Trustees, I would like to welcome you to the Village of Forsyth, where “Pride and Progress” is more than just a motto, it's a commitment to our community.  We are dedicated to providing a warm community with honest transparency, diligent decision making, and comfort for everyone. 

Forsyth is a wonderful place to live, do business, shop, dine and enjoy the community.  We have top-rated schools, excellent streets, and welcoming residents. Our library and collection of outstanding parks, with trails for biking, walking and running provide ample entertainment for the entire family. We take great pride in our state-of-the-art water treatment plant and our law enforcement, who keep our Village safe and secure. 

Our residents are the the pillars of our community, so if you have any ideas for how we can improve, please let us know. We’re here to serve you!

Sincerely, 
Mayor Jim Peck
