With a federal grant in hand to pay for part of the project, the Port of Hood River is now trying to determine how it will source the remaining monies needed to fully fund extending utilities onto Lot 1 along the Nichols Basin plus extending East Anchor Way. The Port recently received a $2 million grant from the Economic Development Administration, which covers about half of the cost of the project. Port Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says Oregon Department of Transportation’s Connect Oregon funds are one possible source. Greenwood says ODOT also has an Immediate Opportunity Fund that could provide part of the necessary monies for the project.
