Art Space Study: Venues and Housing for a Creative Community
Description: Conduct an inventory to identify existing venues for engaging in the arts, including performance centers as well as learning and creating spaces. Specialized housing options for artists and performers will also be addressed. Interview and survey artists, art-related businesses, and art supporters to identify the needs for venues and supporting spaces. Determine the gap between current resources and anticipated needs. With partners, begin a process of prioritizing needs, identifying strategies, and acquiring resources to expand existing spaces and add new facilities to support the arts and artists.

ARTscend Marys Peak
Description: ARTscend Marys Peak is an annual program to inspire artists to appreciate the ecological, physical, cultural and aesthetic values of Marys Peak and to produce artwork about Marys Peak. Local visual artists spend a day on Marys Peak with our certified interpretive guides. The guides focus on showing and explaining the ecological, physical and cultural attributes of Marys Peak. The participating artists create one or more pieces of art that was inspired by their day on Marys Peak. The artwork is then displayed during the month of September throughout downtown Corvallis. A special showing is prepared for the evening of the September Corvallis Art Walk (CAW). Ten percent of the sales of the artwork is donated by the artists to the Marys Peak Alliance to support its “Students to the Peak” program, where we take over 500 local students to Marys Peak each year.
Objectives: Create and Celebrate: CC1 – Community Support for the Arts; CC6 – Celebrating Our History and Culture; CC7 – Natural Surroundings
Sponsor: Marys Peak Alliance of AFRANA
Partners: The U.S. Forest Service, The Marys Peak Group of the Sierra Club, Corvallis Art Walk and 7 local institutions for the showing of the art – The Majestic Theater, Arts in the Valley Gallery, New Morning Bakery, Old World Deli, Pegasus Gallery, The Hold Gallery and The Art Center.
Athletics at the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis
Description: This Initiative provides elementary and middle school developmental sports opportunities that prepare youth for high school sports and a life of healthy physical activity. The program includes afterschool sports and summer camps and clinics. With the addition of a gym in the high school teen center, the B&GCC will expand recreational opportunities for youth cut from high school sports teams. Over the next year the Club will increase access to athletics participation during regular Club hours by launching intermural leagues to serve 200 youth, will increase group exercise classes to reach 200 youth and serve 650 youth with competitive and developmental sports in the fall, winter and spring.

Carbon Fee and Dividend
Description: The Carbon Fee and Dividend is a climate change solution that economists and climate scientists say is the “best first-step” to preventing the worst impacts of a warming world. A national, revenue-neutral carbon fee-and-dividend system would place a predictable, steadily rising price on carbon, with all fees collected (minus administrative costs) returned to households as a monthly energy dividend. Studies show that, in just 20 years, such a system could reduce carbon emissions to 50% of 1990 levels while adding 2.8 million jobs to the American economy.
Objectives: Steward & Sustain – SS1: Sustainable City
City of Corvallis Community Solar Project
Description: Development of a three megawatt (3MW) solar farm, to be located on the field at the city water treatment plant, and subscribed by Corvallis residents, businesses and organizations under SB1547, Oregon’s new Community Solar program. The solar farm is projected to go live in 2Q 2019. An operating and fully-subscribed solar farm, by mid-next year.

Cook for Cancer
Description: This initiative goes beyond screening for food insecurity. Cook for Cancer, a program of The Corvallis Clinic Foundation, supports health care providers with ways to connect patients with access to healthy food. Cook for Cancer serves as a food distribution program by providing free meals for oncology patients undergoing treatment and their families. The goal of Cook for Cancer is to address food insecurity by providing healthy, easy to prepare meals for patients during time of uncertainty. Meals are prepared at the local Dream Dinners by community volunteers, and delivered to patients at their convenience. Any patient undergoing treatment for cancer can access this program.
Along with the medical, financial and emotional stressors of a life altering diagnosis, food preparation is often an added stressor on patients, families and caregivers. All cancer patients should have equal access to the healthy food needed to nourish and heal their bodies. Cook for Cancer eases this burden and allows patients to focus on their health and well-being.
Objectives Engage & Support – ES1: Well-being and Basic Needs; Learn & Thrive – LT6: Access to Healthy Lifestyle
Sponsor: Corvallis Clinic Foundation
Partners: Dream Dinners Foundation
Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Program for Corvallis (C-PACE)
Description: Corvallis and Benton County are looking at implementing a C-PACE program in our communities. C-PACE is a financing mechanism that can fund up to 100% of clean energy projects. The program supports energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and seismic building improvements and removes barriers to financing energy improvement projects. The premise being that energy improvements provide a public benefit because of the environmental benefits achieved by reducing carbon emissions.
C-PACE can help improve the region’s economic infrastructure, by retrofitting our old buildings to reduce energy consumption as well as incorporating energy-efficient components into new-construction projects. This will help improve the value, building performance, and marketability of the County’s commercial, industrial, and multifamily real estate.
C-PACE is its own financing tool. Authorized by the legislature, it uses the same basic property tax structure to secure financing for energy or seismic improvements to commercial buildings. Cost savings achieved by improved energy efficiency of the buildings are used to finance the improvements. Loans are secured by a “benefit assessment” lien that has priority over all other encumbrances, other than regular property taxes.
Objectives: Steward & Sustain – SS1: Sustainable City, SS3: Community Resiliency, SS6: Renewable Energy; Innovate & Prosper – IP6: Balanced Economic Growth with Livability; Plan & Change – PC1: Mixed Use Development, PC3: Diverse & Affordable Housing

Multnomah County and Prosper Portland bring experience in C-PACE. Other stakeholders to CPACE will include: building owners, lenders, contractors, and energy auditors.
Community Healthcare and Human Services Partnerships to Benefit Youth and Families
Description: The Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis is on the cutting edge of using co-location strategies and in-depth partnerships to increase access to services for youth and families. They are creating a new culture of care by bringing together youth social services and a healthcare team of professionals. Through the co-location model and community-based strategies, they will work to solve problems of: scattered health services for youth and adolescents; disconnected medical providers and community social service providers; persistent health inequities; chronic generational health problems and limited access to mental health services.
Objectives: Engage & Support – ES1: Well-Being & Basic Needs; Learn & Thrive – LT1: Equitable, Accessible Health Care & Education and LT6: Access to Healthcare Services

Corvallis Community Shared Solar
Description: Community Shared Solar would use crowd-sourced community investment to increase the amount of solar in Corvallis. The solar systems would be installed at local businesses, which can take advantage of the federal tax credits for solar. If we can locate additional funding, we would also install batteries, providing power to the community in the case of a grid outage during a natural disaster. We hope to include a small solar system at a nonprofit (such as Heartland Humane Society) in the project as well.
Objective: Steward & Sustain: SS1 – Sustainable City and SS6- Renewable Energy
Sponsor: Oregon Clean Power Cooperative
Partners: Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, Economic Vitality Action Team
Corvallis Carbon Offset Fund
Description: Residents, businesses, and organizations may choose to neutralize their carbon greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by buying offsets that result in the prevention or capture of carbon GHG emissions. Proceeds will be distributed to selected, local organizations involved in clean energy production, vegetation planting, and restoration of carbon capturing lands. A local carbon offset fund has advantages over the several non-local funds that exist, and also over donating directly to the local charitable organizations.
Objective: Steward and Sustain: SS1: Sustainable City
Sponsor: Corvallis Interfaith Climate Justice Committee (ICJC)
Food & Beverage Cluster Strategy
Description: This Initiative will create a regional craft food and beverage (F&B) sector strategy focused on growth and assistance for the sector. This initiative seeks to first understand the barriers that many food and beverage businesses in the Corvallis Benton County area face, then create a working plan to overcome those obstacles. We anticipate opportunities in the areas of workforce development, supply chain, creating local connections and the potential for F&B incubators. There is great opportunity to create synergies, and strengthen this component of our local economy. A strong and vibrant food and beverage economy benefits our local businesses, creates opportunities for increased tourism, and strengthens our own local food networks, which is good for resiliency in our area, the environment, and our citizens.

Home Performance Ratings
Description: This Initiative seeks to implement a Home Performance Rating System in Corvallis. The home energy performance rating allows prospective buyers and renters to make informed decisions on future energy use/cost. A certified professional evaluates a home’s performance by looking for air leaks, checking insulation levels inspecting windows and doors, making sure heating and cooling systems are maintained, checking, lighting and more then issues a score. Property owners will be incentivized to make energy conserving and renewable energy production improvements to achieve a high energy score.

Interactive READY Booth
Description: The Interactive READY Booth would be an experiential, educational traveling exhibit with the goal of making disaster preparedness easy and fun to facilitate the greatest amount of behavioral change. READY stands for Readiness Education, Accumulation, and Defense each Year. The booth will draw on design that will be relevant and appropriate for all ages and provide resources to community members for how, where, why, and what to prepare for different types of emergencies. It will collaborate with local groups and organizations in order to leverage existing audiences and resources. After a few years, the goal is to expand the Interactive READY Booth into its own Interactive READY Festival to be held annually on a day or weekend specifically centered on community emergency preparedness, featuring family appropriate activities, educational workshops, interactive exhibits, music, and vendors. The ultimate goal is to reach an increasingly large audience of individuals, families, business owners, etc. and helping them to be better prepared and resilient in the face of disasters.

LBHEA addresses the social determinants of health and promotes policy, system, and environmental change in partnership with member individuals and organizations, with an emphasis on supporting the needs of culturally-specific and rural communities, and with a specific focus on communities of color.
Our lessons learned through these successful efforts show that it is possible and advantageous to harness the voices of the individuals and communities most affected by housing and health challenges in support of long-term policy changes that lead to true systems and environmental changes. We have also noted the continued interest for engagement coming from these vulnerable communities and their desire for additional capacity building opportunities.

Living South Town- Healthy, Prosperous and Inclusive South Town
Description: Living South Town is a multi-year project that has organized South Corvallis residents in support of a healthy, prosperous, and inclusive neighborhood. South Corvallis is lacking many basic resources, but has the potential to see significant new development related to food, housing, transportation, and education: a commercial neighborhood center; a regional “food hub”; off-street pedestrian/bike paths; a new elementary school; and development of new and diverse types of affordable housing. These projects are more likely to happen and be done “right,” when South Corvallis residents are involved, energized and unified by a compelling vision of their neighborhood’s future that is based on a shared commitment to inclusiveness and equity; and if the neighborhood, in partnership with city and county government and other stakeholders, can secure the right financing and development tools. Central to that vison is development of a new mixed-use Neighborhood Center that will include shopping, offices, and housing; will serve as “the epicenter for revitalization of South Corvallis;” and will help make it a “complete neighborhood.”

Saving Green
Description: Although many business owners are interested in adopting more efficient and cost-effective sustainability practices, common barriers to implementation are lack of time, technical information, and staff capacity. In 2013, the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition contracted with Oregon State University’s Applied Social Research graduate class to explore incentives, barriers, and criteria for businesses to adopt sustainable practices. Their research confirmed that technical, hands-on assistance from a sustainability professional could help businesses move forward with their sustainability goals. The Saving Green program has the potential to dramatically decrease the greenhouse gas emissions of our local business sector.
