Forsyth County’s planning commission is back at full strength after welcoming a new member at its most recent meeting.
Keith Banke will represent District 3 in Southwest Forsyth, where he lives. Banke and wife Barbara have been residents of Forsyth County since 2007. A county spokesman says Banke retired from two major corporations and as a real estate director, specialized in selecting sites and completing municipal requirements for new locations.
He’s a graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a degree in metallurgical engineering and has an MBA from Michigan State University.
Banke said he has a keen interest in serving Forsyth County and is looking forward to taking on his responsibilities. He replaces Patrick Britt, who resigned earlier this year.
