The Hood River County Commission has developed a draft strategic plan to guide the County’s decision making over the next few years.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says there are seven goals identified in the plan.   At the top of the list is to modernize the County’s organization and align services with community needs.  Hecksel feels that emphasizes reinvesting in the County to make it more efficient in providing service to the public.  Other goals include fostering financial stability and strength, increasing housing diversity and affordability, enhancing communication internally and externally, reinforcing support of the agricultural industry, adapting the forest management plan to current and future needs, and supporting economic growth and high quality job generation.  Commissioners will examine the draft again at their February 16 meeting.
