In 2021, the City assessed the space needs at 17 of its locations.
In addition to a lack of space, most City facilities rated poorly on work space condition, quality, and function.
Substantial shortcomings in the facilities create barriers to efficient operations for delivering services to the community.
The Corvallis Citywide Facility Strategy laid out 11 projects.
These complex civic facility projects can take years to move through all the phases.
The Civic Campus is one of the priority projects that is moving forward.
The Parks Maintenance facility is one of the priority projects that is movingo forward.
