FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — The former Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office on Third Street and the Forsyth County Youth Detention Center on Sturmer Park Circle could be getting some new tenants soon, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Monday, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners will consider authorizing short-term lease agreements with the state for space in the old sheriff’s office and for 10.3 acres off of Sturmer Park Circle, which encompasses the youth detention center and the former group home located nearby.
This means the youth detention center could be transitioning to a state-run facility with a different focus by July 1.
And the old sheriff’s office, which has been eyed by developers, could bring in some interim revenue while commissioners decide what to do with it.
