HR County Commission Votes To Lift Lodging & Ready For Parks Reopening

Hood River County Commissioners voted unanimously on Friday to lift restrictions on lodging in the County and allow for County parks and developed recreation facilities to reopen by June 8.  The panel had discussed the move at a worksession earlier this week.  Commissioner Les Perkins said he understood that some people are concerned about opening up lodging and parks, but he said the focus needs to be on Governor Kate Brown’s orders on social distancing and group size.  He added everyone needs to follow those guidelines.  The actual opening of County parks and recreation facilities will depend on how long it takes crews to prepare them for use.  The Hood River City Council voted to lift its lodging restrictions earlier in the week.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel noted a steering committee has begun work on moving toward Phase 2 of reopening, and Commissioners scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday at 2 p.m. to discuss that.
