The City of Hood River will host two community events this June on potential bond measures for the November 2026 ballot. On June 23rd, there will be a Housing Town Hall and Panel Discussion from 6 p.m. to 7:30 pm at City Hall. Panelists will include Mid-Columbia Housing Authority Executive Director Karen Long, Big River Community Land Trust Executive Director Alysha Sherburne, and local developer Maui Meyer. The City is exploring a variety of bond sizes and models to use housing bond dollars: rentals, co-ops, and limited-equity ownership. The Town Hall is an opportunity to learn about them and provide feedback. On June 29th, there will be a Police Station Open House and Tour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at City Hall. The Hood River Police Department currently works out of a modified fire engine bay in the basement of City Hall that lacks many of the features necessary for police work. The City is exploring a construction bond to upgrade the police station and resolve ongoing deficiencies.
