Welcome to our Online Survey!
The SW Corvallis Area Plan will refine future land uses and establish a clear framework for local street connections and alternative transportation options.
The first public meeting for this project was held on December 6, 2025. Participants reviewed the draft Vision and Guiding Principles, and participated in a mapping activity. Additional materials from that meeting are available in the project library.
This survey supplements the public meeting by providing an opportunity to participate for those who could not attend in person. Your feedback will help refine the Vision Statement and Guiding Principles for the SW Corvallis Area Plan and identify community assets and opportunities that will inform land use and transportation alternatives.
There will be many more opportunities to participate throughout the project, including two additional public events shown in the schedule below.
