HR URA Board To Seek State Funds For Transfer Of Highway 281

The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency Board approved sending a pre-application and letter of support to the state’s Jurisdictional Transfer Advisory Committee seeking eventual funds to help transfer ownership of state Highway 281, or 12th and 13th Streets, between Pacific Avenue and Oak Street from the Oregon Department of Transportation to the City of Hood River.  The move is being sought to allow for 12th and 13th Street improvements called for under the Heights Streetscape Plan.  Urban Renewal Administrator Will Norris says they are taking a two-pronged approach, direct negotiations with ODOT and seeking a legislative appropriation for the transfer.  The Hood River County Transportation District is also signing on to the support letter.
