The Holt Legal Group, longtime Noblesville law firm headed by Steve Holt, has moved to a new location. After 44 years at 9th Street and Maple Avenue, the firm is now located at 198 S. 9th St., in a building occupied for many years by the now disbanded Campbell Kyle Proffitt law firm. Members of the Holt group also include Sean Fleck, Andrew Dickerson and Heather Kinser. Their old building will be removed to make way for the Levinson, a multi-purpose project due to get under construction in the spring.

Swearing-in ceremonies for newly elected local officials have been moved from the previously announced location at the Courthouse to the Mill Top Banquet and Conference Center at 8th and Mulberry streets. The ceremonies, open to the public, will be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 20. The move was necessary because space in the historic courtroom of the Courthouse is not adequate to handle the expected crowd, according the GOP Chairwoman Laura Campbell.
