    [All-Gorge] 🏞️ The $3.4 Million Park Land vs New Bridge Standoff, HRWSBA - 3/9 & 3/23
    2026/03/26

    The replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon bridge is accelerating, but a multimillion-dollar land dispute with Oregon State Parks threatens to drain local funds. Today, we cover the 3/9 & 3/23 HRWS Bridge Authority meetings, break down the creative cross-border strategies local leaders are using to fight back, the logistical nightmare of dismantling the old toll booths, and the ticking clock on federal funding.

    In This Episode:

    • The impending collision between the new bridge and existing toll booths
    • Historic tribal agreements and federal red tape
    • Washington D.C. lobbying efforts to unlock $8 million in stalled cash
    • The October 2026 federal funding cliff
