HR County Commissioners Approve Lease With Crystal Springs

Hood River County Commissioners unanimously approved a 99-year lease of one-and-a-quarter acres of forestland at the end of Dog River Road south of Parkdale to Crystal Springs Water District to construct a reservoir.  The land-use group Thrive Hood River had registered their objections based on the property being a part of the long-discussed land trade involving Mt. Hood Meadows and the Forest Service to head off litigation, and is set to go into mediation.  But Commissioners decided to move ahead with the lease, and Commissioner Bob Benton said it was an odd situation to be in, but felt the project was important enough to the community involved to move forward.  Commissioners voted unanimously to approve entering into the lease.
