U.S. Congressman Peter DeFazio visited Corvallis Nov. 2, and Benton County Commissioners, City of Corvallis, and others thanked DeFazio for representing Corvallis, Benton County, and the 4th District of Oregon since 1987. The visit gave the Commissioners and others an opportunity to update the Congressman about the Benton County Crisis Center project. Commissioners Nancy Wyse, Pat Malone, and Xan Augerot were joined by Corvallis City Manager Mark Shepard, Benton County Sheriff Jef Van Arsdall, Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson, Benton County Administrator Joe Kerby, and members of the Benton County Health Department, Gerding Builders, and Mahlum Architects to recognize and update DeFazio.
“This is a great opportunity for us to honor the Congressman and let him know how much we appreciate what he has done for our district,” said Benton County Commissioner Nancy Wyse. “We are fortunate to be able to do this in sight of a project he had a direct impact on. It is one example of many that add up to a great legacy he is leaving behind.”
