Historic Preservation Plan

Advocacy and Partnership

Component

Advocacy programs are essential to promote historic preservation
efforts. They work to expand the base of preservation and engage
partners in collaborative preservation programs. While the City’s
historic preservation office will act as coordinator, advocacy efforts
should be shared across a broad base of independent community
organizations and City departments. Community organizations should
be the primary advocates for historic preservation in Corvallis
with the City’s preservation office providing support.

Goal 10: A robust network of preservation
advocates, including government bodies

(City departments, Benton County
and the State of Oregon), non-profit

organizations and educational entities,
support preservation goals and objectives.
