Anyeley Hallová, who recently left Portland development firm project^ to form her own business, was elected vice-chair of the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission on Thursday.

The commission works with land-use goals in Oregon and provides oversight to the Department of Land Conservation and Development. Hallová in 2018 became the first African American appointed to the commission, according to state officials.

She replaces Katie Pearmine as vice chair of the seven-member board.

"The commission, our staff and our state have benefitted greatly from Vice Chair Hallová's gifts of intellect, commitment to equity and her experience as an innovative developer," DLCD Director Jim Rue said in a statement included with the announcement from the department of her election. "We are so pleased she has taken up this leadership position."

Hallová worked for years at project^ — the group behind the two-building office development Field Office and other undertakings — as a partner, but she left in 2020 to start her own company. The new firm, also in real estate, is called Adre and aims to help create wealth for underrepresented people.
