HR County To Consider Partnering With City On Police Facility

Hood River city and county officials are exploring the possibility of partnering on a facility that would replace the County Courthouse as well as provide a new headquarters for municipal police.  The City is planning to put a proposal before voters in November 2021 to build a new police station, while the courthouse graded out as the worst in Oregon for safety in a study by the state a few years ago.  Assistant City Manager Will Norris made a presentation at the County Commission’s Monday meeting, and the panel was receptive to exploring it further.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel said staff will continue the dialogue, and provide a cost estimate to further planning work on a combined facility.
