Wasco County Commissioners Wednesday approved a memorandum of understanding with the Columbia River Gorge Commission and the Port of The Dalles, calling on the three agencies to meet at least once a year to discuss growth management planning, particularly in regard to The Dalles urban area.  County Commissioners expressed hope the agreement can create a pathway toward a future working relationship, with Commissioner Steve Kramer noting much has changed since the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area was established in the 1980’s.  Local officials were unhappy with NSA management plan revisions that they feel severely limited options for growth of The Dalles’ urban area.  The agreement also calls for Wasco County to join the Gorge Commission in seeking funding for a review of The Dalles Urban Area if it is not provided in the Gorge Commission’s biennial budget from the Oregon and Washington legislatures.
