“Next door to Inverness Elementary is an Alabama Power substation,” said Assistant Superintendent of Operations David Calhoun. “Currently the substation access by turning directly off Valleydale, but when the road gets widened, that ability will go away. The power company asked us to purchase approximately 5,000 square feet, a little more than a tenth of an acre.”
Alabama Power will pay $27,000 for the land that will allow them to have access to the substation once the widening project is complete.
In the superintendent’s report, Lewis Brooks congratulated scholar’s bowl participants from Vincent Middle/High School and Helena High School, the basketball teams in the district who made it to the state playoffs, wrestlers who made it to the state championship, Calera High School for winning events at the state indoor track meet, and the cheerleading teams who recently competed in Orlando.
“Whether it’s athletics or academics we’ve had teams done really well this semester,” Brooks said.
