Port of HR Planning Session Discusses Future Without Bridge

The Port of Hood River’s recent spring planning session included considering what the agency would look like once the a new Interstate Bridge is in place and the Port is no longer receiving revenues from the current bridge.  That may be seven years away, but Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says it’s important to start considering it now.   Level of service, size of the agency, and areas to manage and areas to give up are all issues McElwee says need to be addressed in the upcoming years.  Without the bridge, the Port still has its real estate holdings that are leased to area businesses, the Ken Jernstedt Airfield, and recreational locations on the waterfront to operate.
