December 22, 2025 - The City of Corvallis is investigating several attempted financial scams that targeted customers engaged in land use services at the City. 

In the scams, victims were identified using information associated with open land use cases. Scammers contacted those individuals and sent fake invoices under the names of City building officials requesting payment as part of a land use process. The fake invoices included instructions to send the payment via wire transfer.

December 8, 2025 - Both of the street sweepers in the Public Works vehicle fleet are in the shop undergoing unexpected repairs at the moment. Until they're back in action, our regular street sweeping schedule will be impacted.

These two street sweepers are some of the most heavily utilized pieces of equipment in the Public Works fleet. They are used nearly every weekday of the year, and our maintenance staff work hard to keep them up and running with minimal downtime.
