On March 12, 2019 the voters in the City of Corvallis will have the opportunity to approve an Urban Renewal District for South Corvallis. If approved, the district would help provide affordable housing, improvements in street design and safety, access to commercial services, and other projects for Corvallis.
The proposed Urban Renewal District impacts 4.4% of the city’s property located along SW Third St, south of the Mary’s River. This part of the city has been underdeveloped for years, and contains only 2.3% of the city’s tax base. Urban Renewal creates no new taxes.
The League of Women of Corvallis has endorsed this measure.
