One of the goals of the Corvallis Civic Club is to help the public be informed about and involved in issues of importance to the community. The Corvallis School District has embarked on a process to create a facility master plan and has engaged SMA Architects to assist it in evaluating existing facilities and looking at options for future expansion.
At its April meeting the Corvallis Civic Club will host a presentation for the public by SMA on Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m. in the Corvallis High School Library to learn more about the school district and to offer your thoughts on the planning process. SMA will be presenting a summary of the facilities condition review it has been working on and will present information about current school facility utilization. They will also present some very preliminary ideas that might become part of the district’s master plan. This meeting will be an early opportunity for the public to learn about school facility needs, ask questions, and provide input to SMA and the school district as the process moves forward.
The Corvallis Civic Club is a volunteer community group dedicated to facilitating projects of benefit to the Corvallis community. Past projects include: school/community tennis courts; tree plantings and benches on Main Street; the Corvallis to Woodside pedestrian/bike path; pathway east along Willow Creek Road; and Welcome to Corvallis signs. Most recently the group has spearheaded efforts to construct a pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the Bitterroot River at Woodside and to improve the safety of pedestrian and bike crossings in the Corvallis school zone and along the Woodside Cut-Off Road, and lower the speed limit on the Cut-Off Rd. Members welcome your ideas and your help in accomplishing good things for the community. For more information, contact Allen Bjergo at 961-4538 or Tonia Bloom at 363-3485.
