MARSHALL, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Consolidated Dispatch Authority of Calhoun County, which manages dispatch services for Police, Fire, and EMS agencies in the county, has a millage request on the ballot on August 2.

The request for .98 mils over a 10-year levy would result in a significant investment in countywide 911 services and would provide dedicated funding for the operation of the consolidated 911 center in Calhoun County.
