Elwin Cross Honored As Citizen Of The Year
The Caledonian Record reports that Elwin Cross, longtime St. Johnsbury selectman and community servant, was named Northeast Kingdom Chamber of Commerce's 2008 Citizen of the Year. Cross "began his service in town government in 1972 on the zoning board, serving in that role until 1984 when he began his career as a selectman. Cross retired from the St. Johnsbury Select Board in 2005 after 33 years of service to the community." Over the years, "one of Cross's main concerns was town building and road issues." He helped build dozens of homes in St. Johnsbury, Newark, East Haven, and West Burke and has been very involved with the new bridge being constructed in St. Johnsbury Center.
