WILLMAR -- Oliver Hagen, a retired banker from Spicer, has been appointed as the newest member of the Kandiyohi County and City of Willmar Economic Development Commission joint operations board.
He will fill a vacancy that opened in January when former board member Jeff Welker moved to northern Minnesota.
Hagen's appointment was approved Thursday by the EDC's joint powers board.
"He's anxious to get on board and I know he'll do a good job," said Dennis Peterson.
The joint operations board, which meets once a month, oversees the Economic Development Commission's day-to-day programs and activities. The operations board has seven members.
