City Releases Downtown Facilities Funding Feasibility Report

October 2, 2025 – The City of Corvallis has released a funding feasibility study that evaluates a number of long-term options for improving two key public facilities located downtown: the Police Station and the Civic Campus. The report was produced by Clearwater Financial, an Idaho-based firm that specializes in municipal project planning, following a six-month process that included community outreach and analysis of possible funding options.

The report describes various funding options and their capacity to support the City’s continued investment in safe, accessible, and community-serving infrastructure. Options were evaluated in a number of key categories, including adequacy, financial capacity, and fiscal transparency.

The funding feasibility report is the next step in the long-running citywide facilities project. In late 2024, the City Council directed staff to bring in a third party financial consultant to study funding options for the Civic Campus and Police Station projects. 

“This report offers a high-level analysis of the financial options that the City Council has in its toolbox,” said Corvallis Finance Director James Inglis. "Over the last few months, we've worked hard to develop this resource to help our decision makers as they consider how to move forward on much-needed infrastructure improvements that support our growing community.”

The report features community engagement alongside financial analysis. Project managers conducted stakeholder interviews, open houses, and a community questionnaire about possible funding options. Conclusions from those outreach efforts is included in the report as well.
