Hood River County is embarking on a visioning process to determine whether to create a park at Punchbowl Falls.  Western Rivers Conservancy has purchased over 100 acres along one point-five miles of the Hood River from the falls northward, with the intent of selling into to the County for a park.  That area has been used for recreation for years while owned by Longview Fiber and PacifiCorp.  The visioning process is expected to take three months, with a goal of creating a conceptual park development and management plan in time for the 2015 grant cycle.  The land is appraised at over one million dollars, but County Administrator David Meriwether notes Western Rivers is willing to sell to the County for half of that.  A public forum on the subject is scheduled for Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the County Administration Building.
