The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency board voted to move forward with having staff draft contracts with consultants MIG to develop a final Heights Streetscape design using Alternative 3 as the preferred alternative.  That alternative was a mix of two others that went through a public process over the first part of the year.  In the next phase of work, MIG will produce a more specific design along with a project implementation strategy.  Board member Mark Zanmiller pointed out there will still be opportunities for more public input as the process continues, noting this alternative will still be refined with more detail.  The URA board is made up of the Hood River City Council and two Port of Hood River representatives.
