POV:

The Westside Plan addresses one of three strategies that were suggested in the 2015 Housing Needs Analysis and the Hood River Housing Strategy document.

POV:

Among citizen concerns about the Westside Plan are that it goes much further than the 2015 HNA suggested with respect to up-zoning to encourage development. Also, the lack of advance planning for the financing of infrastructure that is identified in the plan, including transportation and parks.

Current Status:

The City of Hood River is in the process of adopting the Westside Plan.
