Many were gathered at Thursday night's Forsyth County Commission meeting to  oppose the commission's plans, following a judge's order, to rezone Lanier Golf Club so that the course could be replaced with residential housing. Instead of a decision, for or against them, the opponents of the rezoning got a reprieve from the commission, which voted 5-0 to call a special work session June 23 to come up with a solution that may be a livable compromise and finally end four years of litigation over the course.
