Forsyth County, North Carolina
Forsyth County is centered on Winston-Salem in the north-central Piedmont, a former tobacco and textile hub now anchored by Wake Forest Baptist Health and a growing biotech and health-sciences cluster downtown. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Unified Development Ordinance channels growth into designated tiers, so most new rooftops land in suburban Kernersville and Clemmons while the historic core redevelops under tighter design and height review.
