Hood River County Commissioners talked about their goals for the upcoming year over the weekend. Continuing to work on development of affordable workforce housing, maintaining public safety functions, the future of the County Courthouse, the management of the County’s timberlands, and potential financial challenges in the near future were all discussed. County Commission Chair Ron Rivers says they are in good fiscal shape now, but rising costs remain a threat. Rivers noted the County believes it will receive a grant from the Oregon Judicial System to study potential Courthouse needs.
