Dear Friends,

 

The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition encourages community members to become informed and engaged on issues of community interest. Toward that end, we wanted to let you know that the City’s Downtown Vitality Strategy Task Force has invited community members to participate in a survey to gather input about a list of potential actions to improve and invest in downtown Corvallis.

 

Here’s some background, taken from the City of Corvallis website:

 

  • The Downtown Vitality Strategy Task Force (DVSTF) was created in 2025 to recommend strategies for improving downtown Corvallis. Priority areas of the Task Force are:
    • Downtown economy: strategies to energize and measurably improve the downtown economic vitality, including private investment and urban renewal.
    • Downtown infrastructure: strategies to invest in Downtown infrastructure and amenities, including City of Corvallis facilities.
    • Downtown environment/safety: strategies to invest in and improve Downtown's overall environment, cleanliness and safety, including sustainability, welcoming and accessible culture, and housing options. 

 

  • The list of priority actions on the survey was drafted by Task Force members over a period of several months.
    • The goal of the survey is to help create a blueprint for the future of downtown Corvallis.
    • The Task Force is seeking input from downtown business owners, residents, shoppers, diners, nonprofits, and public agency partners to build a new strategy.
    • The survey invites community members to review a list of potential actions — such as improving sidewalk maintenance, adding wayfinding signage, or offering tax incentives to businesses.
    • Respondents can select the most compelling actions, then rank them in priority order.
    • Task Force members will review the results and generate a final list of strategies to present to the City Council in 2026.

 

The survey is part of a broader outreach effort being led by the Downtown Vitality Strategy Task Force. Read more about the Task Force's work on the City website.

 

We encourage community members to take the survey.

 

Thank you for your interest and participation.

 

Annette
