Hood River County Commissioners agreed on setting up four tiers of priorities in planning how to use an expected $4.5 million in federal pandemic relief funding being provided through the American Rescue Plan Act.  Tier 1 is items to help end the pandemic and accomplish maximum immunity within the county, Tier 2 is to continue county services impacted by revenue loss during the pandemic, Tier 3 would provide economic recovery assistance, and Tier 4 would assist in retooling to address new economic realities.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says they can’t really go into further detail until they receive more guidance from the U.S. Treasury on how the funds can be used.  The County will receive the funding in two installments, with the first coming fairly soon, and the second expected in about a year.
