Marina East and West: Request for Developer Interest
The Port of Hood River invited responses to a Request for Developer Interest (RFDI) for the Marina East and Marina West properties located within the Marina Basin on the Hood River waterfront (600/700 E. Port Marina Drive, Hood River, OR 97031). Responses to the RFDI were due on April 23, 2026.
This RFDI is an exploratory process intended to gather information from qualified developers and businesses regarding potential redevelopment concepts for these Port-owned properties. The Port is seeking creative, feasible concepts that:
- Enhance long-term financial sustainability for the Port
- Activate the waterfront with compatible uses
- Protect and enhance public access
- Provide year-round community benefit
- Reflect high-quality, human-scale design appropriate for the Hood River waterfront
This RFDI is not a solicitation for bids or proposals and does not obligate the Port to proceed with redevelopment. Responses will inform future Commission discussions regarding potential next steps.
