Calhoun Commissioner Chip Westfall said the commission has actively been assisting to find a new location which has to be handicap accessible and have parking.
Westfall said they have evaluated five locations, which have likely been narrowed to two sites.
Eric Walker, Executive Director, stated, ““We want the citizens of Calhoun to know that the MOVHD continues to support the needs of our Calhoun County citizens and are diligently searching for a place to re-establish the Calhoun County office within Calhoun County and have evaluated several sites at this time and will evaluate more in the near future.”
