The building department in Centre Wellington is growing with the community.
On Sept. 25, councillors authorized the mayor and clerk to update its bylaw appointing a chief building official and building officials.
The building division of the planning and development department recently hired Andrew Hartholt as a new building official.
Chief building official Randy Bossence said his report is a follow-up to previous discussions with council in regard to the need for such a position.
“We have successfully recruited Andrew Hartholt,” Bossence said.
Sept. 25 also marked the first day on the job for Hartholt.
