We have a championship team in the house! Forest Park #Police put up a good fight, but it was Chief Latosha Clemons and the #Fire and Emergency Services Department who ultimately brought home the winner's trophy from our recent Fire vs PD Rivalry #Softball Game! Thank you to everyone for coming out and supporting our incredible #PublicSafety employees. It was definitely a fun time filled with good food, laughter and plenty of friendly competition on and off the field. Until next time... let's see which team will claim victory at the next game. #OneForestPark #ClaytonCounty #Firefighters #EMS #LawEnforcement #E911

ATTENTION ALL BUSINESSES & VENDORS: In an effort to strategically modernize its internal procurement service capabilities, the City of Forest Park has officially transitioned to a new digital eProcurement platform, OpenGov, enabling #ClaytonCounty's largest municipality to shift away from paper-based bid solicitations to a fully automated, electronic bidding and vendor management system. Vendors and/or companies interested in conducting business with the City of Forest are highly encouraged to register in the OpenGov eProcurement platform. There is NO COST to sign up.

A BRAND NEW ROOF for one of our legacy residents, Ms. Jones. Here's a look at the city's home repair program live in action. Thanks to the #ForestPark governing body, qualifying residents ages 62 and older are receiving financial assistance to help pay for much needed home repairs, including roofing, painting, ADA improvements and more. As part of the city's #OneForestPark initiative, we continue to place a heave emphasis on neighborhood sustainability, with the goal of elevating our communities one resident at a time. #ClaytonCounty #WeLoveOurSeniors #CodeEnforcement
