In English | En español - Bond Update: The Hood River City Council decided to refer two separate general obligation bond measures to voters for the November 3 election. Voters will decide on each measure independently: Measure 14-85 - City of Hood River bonds to fund affordable housing; and Measure 14-86 - Bonds to renovate and expand public safety facility.

If approved, the Housing Bond will provide up to $8.7 million to fund affordable housing projects. This equates to an estimated annual tax rate of $0.39 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The median home could expect to pay about $8.82 a month.

If approved, the Public Safety Bond would provide up to $8.7 million to renovate and expand the City's Police Station. The estimated annual tax rate is $0.34 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The median home could expect to pay about $7.69 a month.

Actual rates may vary based on interest rates and assessed values. The measures are available to review on both the Hood River County Elections page: https://www.hoodrivercounty.gov/current-election and the City of Hood River Bond website https://cityofhoodriver.gov/bond/

We have made the difficult decision to cancel this month's First Friday due to air quality concerns caused by wildfire smoke.
The health and safety of our community is our top priority. While we always look forward to bringing everyone together, current smoke conditions make it the right decision to cancel this month's event.
If you feel comfortable getting out, we encourage you to continue supporting our local businesses. Hood River's shops, restaurants, breweries, wineries, and tasting rooms remain open and would love to welcome you. Whether it's dinner with friends, a stop for coffee, or a little local shopping, every visit makes a difference.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support of our community. We look forward to gathering together again when conditions improve.
