Oxford is a Oakland County Main Street Community!

On September 22, 2004, Oxford became an Oakland County Main Street Community. Main Street Oakland County is an economic development program specifically targeted to provide technical assistance to the 30 traditional downtowns in Oakland County. Main Street Oakland County is housed within the planning group of the Planning & Economic Development Services Division of Oakland County’s Department of Community & Economic Development. Main Street Oakland County is a partner with the National Main Street Center, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

As a Main Street Community, the Oxford DDA receives advice, help and services from Main Street Oakland County and the National Main Street Center. The Main Street program’s success is based on a comprehensive strategy that is tailored to local needs and opportunities. This strategy is known as the Main Street Four Point Approach, and it consists of establishing four committees to set goals and develop strategies to revitalize the downtown. The four committees are Organization, Design, Promotions and Economic Restructuring, and they are made up of volunteers who help the DDA Board make decisions about the downtown.
