A proposal from Summit Locations to install three billboards in Calvert (locations noted as 103 N Main St.; 1005 S Main St.; and 105 W Gregg St.) was presented to council on April 13. The item was tabled after council discussion (motion by Jan Walston, second by Bobbie Jean Alford; passed unanimously).
