New This Week
Highway 99 Open House is Now Open - Open through August 30 - The Highway 99W Corridor project continues to advance. ODOT's open house outlines the solutions identified during workshops held last month and the project team is seeking public input on the ideas. While the changes ultimately identified will occur slowly over time, participating now is the means to shape the road's future. Please make time to share your thoughts. Attend the online Open House.
If you prefer in-person over online involvement, stop by one of the tabling events happening on August 25

Central Park Neighborhood Association Micro-Shelter Initiative - The Central Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA) is undertaking an effort to help to address homelessness in Corvallis. CPNA is holding a fundraiser to increase transitional housing availability. Neighbors are working with Unity Shelter to raise $16,000 to construct, furnish, and place one micro-shelter at a managed site—the exact location is still to be determined. In the last few weeks, neighbors have contributed $7,000 to help get us off to a solid start with a goal of reaching $16,000 by December 1. CPNA neighbors and the broader community are invited to join this effort. Learn more.
Joint Meeting for Wards 6 & 9 - August 31 @ 6p - 7:30p @ online - Councilors Struthers and Chaplen invite neighbors in Wards 6 & 9 to join a joint ward meeting.
