Several new faces officially joined the town last week.
At its Nov. 2 meeting Erin council announced two new full-time staff members, as well as the hiring of five seasonal employees. Harold Knox is the town’s new building inspector, while Jonathan French is the new municipal law enforcement officer and property standards officer.
