| The Calhoun Commission has received a Courthouse Facilities Improvement Grant to begin the replacement of old windows.
The grant is for $45,000 with the county coming up with another $11,000 for the project.
It's not any too soon, with the heating bill for the courthouse hitting $6,500 during December.
Much of the heat is escaping through the 70-some windows in the building, all single pane.
Nearly all are the original widows.
The down-side is the grant will likely pay for only one-third of the window replacement.
Last year the commission received a facilities grant to upgrade the TV camera monitoring system and install a security lock system on the courthouse doors. |
