The Port of Hood River is searching for employees to help maintain its recreation sites this summer. Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says how to staff operations this summer is a big question heading into the upcoming season, noting they typically hire ten to twelve high school and college students, but they had almost no interested people the last two years. McElwee says they do have advertisements out and have had a couple of applicants, but difficulty in finding the labor leads to uncertainty on how many trash receptacles and restrooms can be opened on the Waterfront this summer.
