The Port of Hood River is planning to hold a public open house in September on conceptual plans for Lot 1 along the west portion of the Nichols Basin. Consulting firm Walker Macy presented some conceptual diagrams to the Port Commission this week. Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says the diagrams begin to merge Lot 1 ideas with already developed plans for the area. McElwee adds those elements must be coordinated for pedestrian access, parking, and building mass. The open house will be held in September on a date still to be determined.
