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.

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.
