A Public Infrastructure Framework Plan for the 9-acre Lot 1 was recently developed to provide a clear understanding of Lot 1 infrastructure that will be needed to develop this last remaining undeveloped parcel into an active, thriving part of the Hood River Waterfront. Unlike other portions of the waterfront, Lot 1 is seriously deficient in existing basic infrastructure—water, sewer, and streets. A significant financial investment will be needed to transform this parcel and realize its potential.

Final tasks are underway at the Port’s 11-acre Lower Mill redevelopment project, an industrial property the Port has worked to clean up, improve, and ready for development for close to five years. The completion of Lower Mill industrial park returns the former mill site to productive use by the private sector with the creation of four shovel-ready, buildable M-1 industrial-zoned lots.
