The Hood River City Council approved turning over a small piece of land on Tucker Road to the Big River Community Land Trust for development of a unit of affordable housing. The narrow .07-acre lot once housed a pressure reducing valve for the City’s water supply, but the municipal transmission main is no longer in that area. City officials say turning the property over to the land trust fits with their goals of developing more affordable housing. If the land trust does not make substantial progress on developing the property within two years, the City can buy it back for a dollar.
