Hood River County Commissioners received a surprise when receiving a report on the costs to realignment of Tucker Road at Nobi’s Corner and the Windmaster/Country Club intersection. The Oregon Department of Transportation estimate for the project has gone from about $3,200,000 to around $4,000,000. The County has to provide a 10% match, and Commission Chair Ron Rivers says the increase would cause that share to go beyond the $350,000 the County has budgeted for it. Commissioners received seven options on how to proceed from Public Works Director Mikel Diwan, and they chose to have staff go back and talk with ODOT about just doing the Nobi’s Corner portion of the project, which would cost about $2,000,000.
