Mariposa Village Agreements Reached

The Hood River City Council this week approved three agreements that move the deal to construct the Mariposa Village housing project on 780 Rand Road toward closing in mid-April.  The agreements with developers Community Development Partners and Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation include the details to construct 129 units of housing affordable at 60% of area median income for the next 60 years.  Urban Renewal Administrator Will Norris outlined the timeline the project is now on, with closing in mid-April, construction to start in mid-May, and a projection to finish in 2027.  Mariposa Village units will be built to Gold Level National Green Building Standards.  Units will be equipped with automatic dishwashers, air-conditioning, and programmable thermostats, and will include onsite trash, recycling, and compost.
