The Forsyth County Animal Control & Shelter Advisory Committee on Tuesday night will discuss, among other things, the best place to build a county animal shelter the  group estimates will cost almost $3 million.  Should it be in a location more convenient to animal control, which operates out of the Sheriff's office? Or should it be further south in the county to encourage animal adoptions?  The meeting is 6:45 p.m.Tuesday, June 21, suite 210, in the Forsyth County Administration Building, 110 E. Main Street, Cumming.
