Attention Forrest City Citizens: Mayor Bryant will give his State of the City Address at the Forrest City Civic Center today March 28th at 6pm. See you there!

Fellow Forrest City Citizens, It is with a heavy heart that I, Mayor Larry S. Bryant, announce the passing of our esteemed assistant code enforcement officer, Lanicka Griham. Lanicka's sudden passing leaves us all deeply saddened. Those who had the pleasure of knowing Lanicka will remember her friendly demeanor and the exceptional talent she brought to her role. She was a true joy to work alongside, and her positive impact on our city was felt in the short time she was here. Lanicka's absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her. In this difficult time, I ask that you join me in keeping her family in your thoughts and prayers as they grapple with this immense loss. Sincerely, Mayor Larry S. Bryant
