Port of Hood River Commissioners this week voted to enter into a memorandum of understanding with farm machinery retailer Sheppard’s to develop a disposition and development agreement for the business to purchase and relocate on two acres of land at 2nd and Riverside at the entrance to the waterfront.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says the MOU has a six-month time frame, but he does not anticipate it will take that long.  He noted it does not appear there will have to be any change in zoning for the transaction to proceed, as the City has indicated the business is an accepted use in a light industrial zone.  He added the location would not have accommodated the typical light industrial building.
