The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency voted to collect $36,000 in additional tax increment to allow the State Street restroom project to proceed. Estimates for the project came in at $256,000, over the $220,000 originally budgeted for it. The additional funding will allow the restrooms to be located at Third and State to remain in its original design. Urban Renewal board members also decided to work with the group Art of Community on developing a piece of public art for the facility. The restrooms are part of the overall State Street urban renewal plan. In addition, painting of the final lift of State Street is set for next week.
