Brian Munhall Named Director of Forsyth County Public Facilities

Brian Munhall has been named Director of the Forsyth County Department of Public Facilities. Forsyth County announced on Feb. 5, 2026, that Munhall brings more than 30 years of management experience to the role and that he previously served as the county’s Deputy Director of Public Facilities.

The appointment places an experienced administrator at the head of a department responsible for the upkeep and delivery of county infrastructure and facilities. Forsyth County’s own news feed posted the announcement alongside several ongoing projects and operational notices, underscoring the practical workload the new director inherits. The county post also notes related items including progress on the Sharon Springs Park renovation, a scheduled construction start for the Return Flow Pipeline at the intersection of Sanders and Buford Dam Roads beginning Feb. 10, and a recent weather-related delay that pushed the opening of non-essential county offices to 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 2.

Sharon Springs Park and the Return Flow Pipeline are among the visible projects citizens have followed; the county feed says, “In this edition of On the Move, Parks & Recreation Director Kirk Franz and Capital Projects Director John Jefferson discuss progress on the Sharon Springs Park renovation, funding sources and preview the future amenities planned for the park.” The same edition also highlighted a local education partnership: “Last September, Forsyth County brought a real-world water infrastructure challenge straight into a Georgia Institute of Technology classroom, giving engineering students the chance to strategize, problem-solve and create a design for a simulated version of Forsyth County’s Return Flow Project.” Those items provide context for the kinds of public works and interagency coordination Munhall will oversee, though the county announcement does not specify which projects he will directly manage.

Munhall’s internal promotion from deputy to director signals continuity at a time when residents are tracking construction timetables, park renovations and utility projects. The county’s news page groups the announcement with routine services and civic functions such as Voter Registrations & Elections, Property Tax Budget Information, Pay My Water Bill, and Report an Issue, highlighting how Public Facilities intersects with everyday county operations.

Forsyth County carried the announcement under its standard copyright notice, “Copyright 2026 by Forsyth County, Georgia.” The county has not released a detailed biography, an effective start date for Munhall’s tenure, or a quoted statement from county leadership in the available posting. For residents, the appointment means experienced leadership is in place as the county moves forward on visible projects; the next steps will be confirmation of Munhall’s start date, a fuller biography from county media relations, and clarity on his role in specific capital projects and maintenance priorities.
