HR County Commission Considers Fairground Meetings

The Hood River County Commission is looking at holding in-person meetings at the County Fairgrounds in Odell.  Like nearly all governmental agencies, the panel has been conducting its meetings virtually since the COVID-19 pandemic began.  Commissioner Les Perkins said on the Mid-Columbia Today Show that with the County hoping to move to Phase 2 at the end of this week, they would have the ability to have an in-person meeting, but there would still be an Internet option available to the public.  Perkins said they were looking at the Summit building on the Fairgrounds to hold a meeting, noting it would provide sufficient room for physical distancing measures.
