HR County Waits To Make Emergency Order Changes

Hood River County Commissioners decided not to make any changes to their current COVID-19 emergency orders.  Commissioners on Monday did discuss whether or not to lift restrictions on lodging, but elected to wait until at least June 1.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel said as time goes on more and more people from out of the area are coming to use the County’s open forestlands, even though he doesn’t think that represents the majority of users.  He added they are continuing to get reports of good practices by forest users.  The County Commission did continue two hearings to June 1, including on a Crystal Springs Water District easement and lease on County forestland, as they continue to work on how to better hold them and take public input under current restrictions.
