The Port of Hood River Commission talked about its goals for what is known as the Barman property, less than an acre located on 2nd and Riverside at the entrance to the waterfront. The Barman property is zoned for commercial use. Port of Hood River Executive Director Michael McElwee says there have been a number of inquiries about the Barman property, including parties interested in a small hotel, mixed use with parking, and senior housing, and he said the consensus was any of them could meet Port goals, but a traffic study on the Interstate 84 exit 63 interchange to see if thresholds set by the Oregon Department of Transportation ten years ago have been reached that would require street improvements needs to be completed before making decisions. McElwee says the traffic study should be done in about eight weeks.
