A long-time project E-911 addressing is moving ahead, with the Calhoun
Commission approving mapping and road changes Monday evening. E-911
Director Barry Pitts said residents who have a Grantsville address will soon
receive a letter regarding address changes, and other areas of the county
will follow.
The current E-911 maps and road names are available for inspection in the
County Clerk's office. Pitts said residents who receive their address change
letter have a right to appeal road names.
The commission, whose primary function is to keep the county in the black,

the county, from improvements at the county park to the installation of

courtroom for use by the Family Judge at a cost of $5000.
