SAVE TANGLEWOOD RESOLVES

Whereas, the Forsyth Board of Commissioners has proposed a 50,000 square foot events center in Tanglewood Park between the horse stables and shelter #2. This project includes barns for 200 horses, horse trailer parking, and additional paved parking for 350 vehicles.

Whereas, this facility would:

1. Spoil the natural beauty of the park, impair recreational users’ enjoyment of the park, and destroy wildlife habitat
2. Consume limited county financial resources with little hope of returning the investment or breaking even
3. Potentially endanger or displace the park’s current horse population
4. Contribute to storm water run-off and flooding within the park and surrounding neighborhoods
5. Contribute to traffic congestion in the community
    

Save Tanglewood volunteers resolve to oppose locating an events center ANYWHERE within Tanglewood Park; there is not a path to compromise for this site.  

We further resolve to vigorously oppose locating an events center within Tanglewood Park with all lawful tools and actions available to us; for as long as it takes. We will continue to press this fight until Forsyth County EXPLICITLY and UNCONDITIONALLY drops Tanglewood Park from consideration.

So resolved by unanimous voice vote of the assembled citizens of Forsyth County meeting in Clemmons, North Carolina August 24, 2021.
