HR County To Hold Hearing On Construction Excise Tax

The Hood River County Commission will hold a public hearing June 19 on a proposed one percent construction excise tax to provide funds to assist in creating more affordable housing.  The tax would be on new residential, commercial, and industrial construction.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says he wants to make sure people realize the tax is being discussed.  The County developed the proposed excise tax after the Oregon Legislature approved a bill to make it possible.  A task force made up of County officials, housing advocates, and members of the construction industry developed the proposal.  The June 19 meeting will be at 6 p.m. in the County Administration Building.
