Our Forum Estates PID continues to establish a strong presence. A combination of elements including landscaping, lighting, signage and security is the first line of strength and support you'll begin to see in our Forum Estates community.

The Forum Estates board members plan to meet in July to finalize a master plan which will ultimately pass to the City Council for final approval. Some of the things you will begin to notice over the coming months will be.......

North median on GSW Parkway at Forum

A cluster of crape myrtle in the tapered portion of the median 8 Shumard Oaks planted at a 40-45' spacing (although superior to most Red Oaks...Shumard is also known as Shumard Red Oak or Southern Red Oak...the Shumard grows moderately fast and produces acorns every 2-4 years) A double sided lit sign marking the entryway of the Forum Estates with ornamental shrubs on wither end and flowering beds in front and back of the signage

Neighborhood Protection...

Did you know that the Forum Estates is the only PID that has hired a licensed security firm to patrol their neighborhood? Absolute security officers utilize an efficient high tech bar code system. Bar codes are strategically place throughout our neighborhoods. The officer on duty is required to enter individual neighborhoods and scan each bar code. Incident reports are generated as a result and their patrols are adjusted according to the indications of higher crime areas.

Our Forum Estates board members continue to look out for our best interests and in cooperation with our Security firm encourage each of us to ALWAYS leave house lights lit at night.

If you see suspicious activity or are a victim of a crime that you'd like to report...PLEASE DO NOT CALL ABSOLUTE SECURITY...DIAL 911
