Scott Glenn was appointed Thursday as director of the state Office of Environmental Quality Control by Gov. David Ige.

Glenn will replace former Rep. Jessica Wooley, whose term ended June 30. Woosley had been serving on monthly basis since Ige took office in January.

He is also the co-founder and president of Better Block Hawaii‘i, a non-profit dedicated to exploring collaborative, innovative approaches to improving urban livability.
