Know Your City Program Returns in February

January 15, 2025 - Since 2017, the League of Women Voters of Corvallis has offered annual public forums on Corvallis city services and programs. For 2025 the League is offering two programs on facilities managed by Corvallis Parks and Recreation and the city’s infrastructure managed by Public Works. The two events will be held in the Corvallis Benton County Public Library Main Meeting Room, 645 NW Monroe, Corvallis on February 6 and February 19, 2025. Both programs will start at 7:00 pm.

The first event (Parks and Recreation: What Do We Have and How Do We Pay for It?) will take place at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, February 6, 2025. Have you found yourself looking for something special to do, wondering what opportunities the city offers? Or do you already know that Corvallis owns and manages an amazing variety of natural areas, parks, and recreational opportunities and sometimes wonder how the city pays for acquiring and maintaining them? Get answers to your questions from Meredith Petit, Director of Corvallis Parks and Recreation. Register online on the LWV website. 

The second event (Pipes and Roads and Sewers, OH MY! Aging City Infrastructure) will take place at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 19. Do you ever think about the gift we have with clean water, storm drainage and street and trail networks and wonder about their health and maintenance? Do you drive, bike, or walk over a pothole or crack in a road or sidewalk and ask why is this not fixed? Join Jeff Blaine, Corvallis Director of Public Works to get your questions answered. Register online on the LWV website.

Know Your City programs are sponsored by the League of Women Voters Corvallis, Corvallis Benton County Public Library and the City of Corvallis.
