The Port of Hood River will hold its fall planning session on Tuesday, and the focus will be on strategic planning for the next six years. Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says this session will start the update of their current business plan to take it to 2026, the year which is targeted to begin construction of a new Interstate Bridge if everything on that front goes right. McElwee notes during that time, the Port will be looking to start becoming more efficient and looking at ways to increase revenue and decrease expenses. To find revenue opportunities, the first step is to look at the Port’s real estate portfolio and continuing a process to recoup fixed costs in their current buildings while also looking at other development possibilities, ways to become more efficient as an agency, and look at partnerships with other agencies. The strategic planning session will run from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Port’s Marina Center conference room.
