Cascade Locks Gets Federal Help For Infrastructure Improvements

Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley Wednesday announced the city of Cascade Locks will receive a $2.4 million federal investment to make power supply infrastructure improvements that will help support business growth in Hood River County.  The news follows a letter to the federal Economic Development Administration from Wyden and Merkley in support of the project to help Cascade Locks become more resilient to natural disasters by placing circuits underground, hardening a transmission line, and buying a new substation.  Cascade Locks City Administrator Gordon Zimmerman says the year-long project will increase the City’s electrical capacity by a third and support more businesses and housing.  The EDA estimates the $2.4 million federal investment will create 66 jobs, save 82 jobs and leverage $22.2 million in private investment.
