    🚧 Project Update 🚧

    We wanted to share a quick update on our progress. Unfortunately, the installation crew encountered an emergency πŸš‘ that temporarily pulled them away from our site. However, we’ve been assured they’ll return on Monday πŸ› οΈ in full force.

    The plan is to complete the main structure πŸ—οΈ and begin installing the border and mulch 🌿. For those curious, the mulch is currently wrapped up on pallets down at the park 🎁🏞️—ready to go!

    Thank you for your continued patience and support! πŸ™πŸ’š

     

    We’re thrilled to give you a first peek at our brand-new playground equipment — and trust us, it’s going to be AMAZING! πŸš€ The installation is already underway, and we can’t wait for you to experience all the fun.

    πŸ› οΈ But hold tight! While we know it’s tempting, we kindly ask everyone to wait just a little longer before climbing, sliding, or swinging. Safety is our top priority, and we want everything to be perfect before the big debut!

    ⏳ The good news? It’s only a few more days! If all goes smoothly, we hope it will be ready to play on by this weekend! 🎈

    πŸŽ‰ And guess what? We’re throwing a community celebration to mark this awesome milestone! Join us on Saturday, May 31st from 11 AM to 2 PM for a day of fun, laughter, and play. πŸ₯³

    πŸ“… Mark your calendars — it’s going to be unforgettable!

    🚧 Street Treatment Alert:

    UPDATE: STREET CLEANING


    Oxford News

    UPDATE: Proseal will be back Thursday 5/15/2025 and Friday 5/16/2025 to clean all the streets that recieved the reclamite treatment earlier this week.  

     

    Weather permitting, beginning Monday, May 12, Proseal will begin applying Reclamite, a rejuvenating street treatment, to roads in the northeast part of town.

    You might be wondering—what is Reclamite? πŸ€”
    Reclamite is a restorative treatment that acts like a spa day for streets. It’s a pink liquid that penetrates the pavement, working deep within the asphalt to restore flexibility and protect the surface from future cracking. Think of it as a mix between sunscreen and moisturizer—except it's for your road! πŸ›£οΈπŸ§΄

    This treatment is designed to extend the life of our streets, improving driving conditions and reducing the need for more costly repairs down the line. It’s a proactive step to keep our roads safe, smooth, and strong.

    What Residents Can Expect:

    πŸ—“οΈ Door Hangers: Proseal crews will place door hangers on homes in the areas scheduled for treatment. These will include dates and times for when specific streets will be treated.

    πŸ—ΊοΈ Map Access: A project map is available showing the treatment schedule for each street in the northeast quadrant. You can find it below this story.

    πŸš— Street Access & Parking:
    To ensure the treatment works properly and to keep crews safe:

    • Please move all vehicles off the street before the scheduled treatment.

    • Avoid running sprinklers the night before or the day of treatment, as excess moisture can interfere

    Pool Opening Soon!

    Memorial Day Opening!
