When the Port of Hood River Commission held its spring planning session recently, much of the discussion revolved around what the agency will look like when the current Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge is retired. The Port board wants its budget to no longer be dependent on tolling revenue after Fiscal Year 2025-26. Port Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says they are already been heading down that path, cutting costs where possible in anticipation. Some ideas for revenue for the Port include an expansion of paid parking on the Waterfront, increasing cash flow from the Port’s ten-acre property in Odell, and rental of t-hangars at the Ken Jernstedt Airfield.
