Coming off its spring planning session, the Port of Hood River Commission is moving into a new phase.  The Port spent 2014 concentrating on finishing capital projects that were underway.  With those moving toward completion, Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says emphasis will return to property development, especially with the Port’s acquisition of the Lower Hanel Mill expected to close in early July.  McElwee adds the vision for the nine-and-a-half acres include locating distribution, warehousing, and light industrial manufacturing, with the Port selling some of the property and retaining one or two lots to develop itself to meet a demand for leased property.
