The Hood River City Council gave the go-ahead to proceed with a feasibility study for a proposed Westside Urban Renewal District. A timeline presented by City Manager Abigail Elder called for the study phase to be wrapped up by March of next year, while a specific tax increment financing plan would be done by October of 2023. Councilor Mark Zanmiller said with previous discussions about a Westside Urban Renewal plan, he wants the feasibility study to be done as quickly as possible, but Elder did point out there has been very little formal public involvement. A Westside Urban Renewal district plan would need to be in place by the end of 2023 to establish the first year of tax increment financing in Fiscal Year 2024-25.
