HR Council To Wait On Waterfront URA Decisions

The Hood River City Council, acting in its capacity as the Urban Renewal Agency Board, decided to wait on making any decisions on changes to the Waterfront Urban Renewal District that could extend it, reduce its size or allow it to expire.  Port of Hood River Executive Director Michael McElwee made a presentation to the Council with various options that could allow for funds to be made available for infrastructure development on Lot 1 moving toward a public transit hub and a park area.  That project is seeking federal grant money that could pay for much of it, but McElwee says that is still uncertain.  Mayor Kate McBride said the array of options didn’t lend to an immediate decision.  Councilors have been discussing using the urban renewal acreage currently allocated for the Waterfront to eventually move forward with a Westside URA in the near future.
