Last night's council meeting ( March 16, 2015) was a watershed moment for Corvallis. In working to negotiate a new understanding with OSU our council (finally) determined the dynamics of this relationship was not working and set a future mtg date for the council to determine actions the city will take for future campus development which will no longer enjoy the accelerated approval afforded under the existing campus master plan.
In a nutshell: our council is standing up to OSU and saying 'no more'.
There's likely to be alot of pressure for council to back down from 'the biggest employer in town'. I hope you'll consider writing council & mayor to express support for this action. We need to have their backs on this.
Cheers, Jeff Hess
