A Camano Island man has been appointed to the Island County Planning Commission.

James Hall of Dallman Road was selected by the Island County Commissioners Monday to fill the District 3 position 1 seat. It was previously occupied by William Lippens, who resigned in May after taking a job out of state.

The planning commission is a nine member advisory body that makes recommendations to the commissioners in matters concerning growth and development. All positions carry a four-year term.

Hall has been a builder for more than 20 years and is the current president of the Camano Island Builders Association. His appointment to the planning commission was decided by unanimous vote.
