The City of Hood River held a virtual informational meeting on the proposed Westside Urban Renewal District, giving an overview on the district being put together for moving forward with projects identified in three different previously done plans. City Planner Dustin Nilsen pointed out the projects being considered for the 407-acre district are already called for in transportation systems and multi-jurisdictional parks plans and affordable housing development strategy. Consultant Elaine Howard says the urban renewal district is the implementation tool for those projects. The urban renewal plan is scheduled to be reviewed by the City Council on June 12, then go to the Urban Renewal Advisory Committee on June 20, the municipal planning commission on July 10, the Hood River County Commission on August 21, and then back to City Councilors for final passage August 24.
