The Port of Hood River has received a market study from EcoNorthwest for the Lower Mill property in Odell. Port Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says the 22-acre property is about ready for development. Greenwood says the study shows putting up a 10,000 square foot building to be available for tenants would be a good initial step. Greenwood notes that the current high costs of construction is an impediment, but lease rates figure to be lower than in the waterfront area. Selling some pieces of the property would be an option, in part to potentially help pay for building a facility there.
