Calhoun's 911 Director Dave Johnson said work is moving ahead on the county's new communication center behind Calhoun Middle-High School.
"It's a project that has risen with the help of lots of hard work and community effort. A long time coming, but it will be a great improvement for the county," he said.
This past weekend, several volunteers were painting, pounding nails and completing a rest room in the building.
The Calhoun Commission just received a second check for $52,192 to complete the financing on a 180 foot free-standing tower to be erected behind the center.
Completion money is coming from a tax implemented on cell phones.
Johnson said the bid has already been given, waiting on better weather to erect the tower.
He said efforts are being made to get a cell phone provider to use the tower, a service which certainly needs improvement in the county.
Meanwhile, a contractor is surveying the county, making efforts to complete the E-911 mapping and addressing project.
"Hopefully, the a move to the communication center and the E-911 project will all come together soon," Johnson said.
