Christine Parsons, managing director of the Calhoun County Road Department, told the board on Feb. 19 that the county will exceed $6,000,000 in local road work this year, a record level of participation driven in part by new state road funding. "We are exceeding $6,000,000 in local road work this year," Parsons said, noting 12 townships submitted projects and some work is a carryover from prior years.
