The City of Hood River has brought on a familiar face to help direct the Westside Urban Renewal project. The district itself doesn’t actually start until January 1, but City Manager Abigail Elder says they are moving ahead to the next step. They’ve named former municipal finance manager Will Norris to oversee the Westside district work. The intent of the district is to generate funds for the installation of infrastructure that will facilitate development in the Westside area.
