A public discussion is being planned for next week on the proposed affordable housing development on Hood River’s Lot 700, otherwise known as the Morrison Park property.  Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation and the City of Hood River are partnering on the project, and is expected to develop 60-to-80 units.  Last year, the City moved ahead with rezoning the land for the project over the objections of some who felt Morrison Park represented important open space.  Columbia Cascade Executive Director Joel Madsen says the City has directed them to preserve as much open space as possible.  Madsen says this project may target a population with a more mixed income level than the Hood River Crossing apartments on Cascade Avenue.  The community meeting will be next Tuesday (January 9) at 6 p.m. at Westside Elementary School.
