HR County Building Antenna Project Designed To Fill Downtown Coverage Holes

An information meeting on Hood River County Sheriff’s Office 9-1-1 Division plans to install grant-funded radio system improvements atop the County Business Administration Building to fill holes in emergency radio coverage did not draw many people.  It was the first step in the permitting process to add antennas to those that already exist on top of the building at Sixth and State.  County Sheriff Matt English says they need to fill holes in their radio coverage in downtown Hood River, noting with additional computers in the area operating on frequencies similar to those used for law enforcement channels, there is large amount of interference.  The next step in the project is to apply for a conditional use permit from the Hood River City Planning Department.  The project will be funded by a $130,000 grant from federal Homeland Security funds.
