The West Corvallis neighborhood was designed as a Specific Plan for one of the City of Corvallis’ outlying, mixed-use nodal developments. The city chose the location for this ‘node’ for its adjacency to the existing rodeo grounds, previously zoned industrial lands, and an agricultural research branch of the local university. The new neighborhood includes a new retail market square, schools, a variety of housing choices, and a bike trail network leading back to the Corvallis center, and up into the foothills of the Coast Range.
