Calhoun experienced significant construction activity in October, with 149 building permits issued representing an estimated $60.3 million in construction value.

The October figures were presented during the Calhoun City Council’s department updates. Much of the reported investment came from a proposed $45 million industrial facility on Salem Road.

The monthly reports also included updates from the city’s public safety and utility departments.

The Calhoun Police Department reported handling 413 cases during October while logging more than 48,000 miles of patrol activity.

Meanwhile, the city has awarded a contract worth just under $1 million for the relocation of water and sewer infrastructure along Curtis Parkway. The work is needed to accommodate a planned widening of the roadway.
