We have exciting news: our economic development websites have a new look!

While they may look a little different, rest assured they’ll continue to deliver

the same great information you’re used to.

First up was a refresh of our economic development website! Besides a new web address at www.ChooseCalvert.com, we created a new one-stop portal for everything business, agriculture and tourism. You can get to our tourism site directly at www.VisitCalvert.com, and you can still find everything you need to know about Calvert agriculture at www.CalvertAg.com. 

These changes are all part of our continuous effort to provide the best, most efficient experience for citizens to access government information and services. Visit the new URLs today to see the updated logos and color schemes. 

Shelter pets are in need of loving homes!

Citizens are encouraged to visit the Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter when considering a new pet this month. If you are thinking about bringing a new furry family member into your home, this may be just the time to do it!

To schedule an intake appointment, call 410-535-7387. The shelter is located at 5055 Hallowing Point Road in Prince Frederick.

Not ready to adopt? Consider donating much-needed supplies such as food, treats and toys. Visit our shelter wish list online.
