Former Metro Codes Department Director Bill Herbert is returning to the role after a stint in the private sector, Mayor Freddie O'Connell announced Friday.

Herbert, formerly Metro zoning administrator, ran the Metro Codes Department from 2018 to 2022, when he joined law firm Thompson Burton as a partner working on land-use matters. Byron Hall has served as interim director of the department and has been promoted to deputy director, O'Connell said. Herbert will return to Metro in February.
