Preserving the Magic of Oxford
Quality of Life
Growing up, visiting my grandmother in Oxford, Mississippi, I always felt a sense of magic in this small Southern town. Whether I was playing on the firetruck at Avent Park, strolling around the historic town square, or attending an event at the University of Mississippi, there was an undeniable charm and uniqueness to Oxford that captivated me.
Now, having lived in Oxford for the past 35 years, I can say with certainty that this feeling of magic has not faded. Oxford and the surrounding Lafayette County offer an exceptional quality of life, with excellent schools, a thriving university, and an incredible array of restaurants and cultural offerings – all while maintaining the warmth and character of a small town.
Smart Growth
Infrastructure
As Oxford continues to evolve and expand, its leaders are faced with the challenge of balancing the needs of its historic character with the demands of a modern, thriving city. By thoughtfully planning and investing in its transportation, water, and sewer systems, Oxford is positioning itself to meet the needs of both its residents and its visitors, now and in the years to come.
Oxford, Mississippi is a vibrant and growing city, with a rich history dating back almost 200 years. In recent years, the city has seen significant infrastructure improvements to keep pace with its rapid growth and development.
Thriving Business Community

As we continue to grow and evolve, it is essential that we maintain the collaborative spirit that has been the hallmark of Oxford’s business community. By working together, our small businesses, large industries, and educational institutions can create a thriving economic ecosystem that benefits all who call Oxford home.
As a small business owner in Oxford, Mississippi, I can attest that small businesses are the backbone of our vibrant community. However, we have also been fortunate to attract and support a diverse range of industries, both large and small, that contribute to the overall economic vitality of our city.
