Hood River URA Board Tables Lot 1

The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency board has decided to table a decreased urban renewal area to fund public improvements to Lot 1 of the Hood River Waterfront along the Nichols Basin.  The Port of Hood River had brought up the concept as the Waterfront Urban Renewal District nears its sunset.  But City Councilors on the Urban Renewal Agency board expressed concern that there was no specific plan for Lot 1, and the need for municipal staff to concentrate on development of a Westside Urban Renewal District.  Councilor Mark Zanmiller said with the Port suggesting a re-visioning of Lot 1, there is no rush to move forward.  Mayor Paul Blackburn suggested as the current Waterfront URA sunsets and the Westside area is put together to leave enough acreage to address Lot 1 as that plan emerges.
