Mark Hall is the Adirondack Park Agency’s next board chair. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Hall, who has served as an APA board member since June 2020, was selected by Gov. Kathy Hochul to fill the role, the governor’s office announced Friday. The position opened in June when then-chair John Ernst announced his retirement. Since Hall is already a board member, his appointment as chair does not require state Senate confirmation.
