Hood River County is planning to become a part of the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy program.  Hood River would be the third county in Oregon to do so.  County Commission Chair Jennifer Euwer says they are looking at the program at the request of the Port of Cascade Locks. but she adds it could benefit economic development around the County through long-term low-interest rate financing from private capital providers for qualified clean energy projects.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel says the program can be used for long-term financing for improvements at preferable rates that makes it attractive to develop in the County for either new or existing businesses.
