🎉 2026 Planners Have Arrived! 🎉


Oxford News, Events

If you’ve been patiently (or not-so-patiently) counting down the days, the wait is officially over. Our 2026 planners have made their grand entrance at the City Office, and yes — they’re free!

As many of you know, we order these every year for our staff, but the supplier only sells them in bulk… large bulk. So, once again, we’re swimming in planners. Instead of building a fort out of them (tempting, but frowned upon), we’re handing them out to anyone who wants one.

If you’re the type who likes to get a jump on the new year, or if you simply enjoy a crisp, empty planner full of possibility, stop by the office during business hours and pick one up. Supplies will last until… well, until you all wipe us out like you do every year.

Come grab yours — before we start using them as doorstops. 😉

Wheat State Fiber Construction Near East Bridge

Wheat State Technologies


Oxford News, Events

Residents may notice Wheat State crews working near the bridge on the east side of town in the coming days. Wheat State will be repairing and reinforcing their fiber cables after water entered an access point, froze, and constricted the lines. This issue caused the internet outage on Tuesday, December 2nd.

The City appreciates Wheat State’s quick response to the outage and their efforts to restore service to customers as promptly as possible. The upcoming construction is part of their work to prevent similar issues in the future.

While significant delays aren’t expected, drivers may see workers and equipment in the area and are encouraged to use caution when passing through.
