4 issues in business jobs with medium priority
Holiday and national advertising campaigns
Two ad agreements were on the table: $7,000 with Lamar Advertising for Holly Jolly Holidays and $5,000 with Miles Partnership for a Times Square billboard. Together that's $12,000 in tourism marketing spending.
New grocery store at Oxford Commons
A 40,100-square-foot grocery store and retail building are coming to Ed Perry Boulevard at Oxford Commons, with special exceptions and site plan both approved. Deliveries run weekdays 6 a.m.–2 p.m., none on Sundays.
Visit Oxford tourism program
The tourism office laid out its FY27 plan: a new welcome center and digital kiosk, a 'Wish You Are Here' ad campaign, and partnership grants that returned $10.3 million in visitor spending on a $104,350 investment.
Downtown parking meter modernization
About 300 aging single-space meters downtown will be replaced by 30 multi-space meters and 12 upgraded kiosks. IPS was selected from four proposals; a contract comes back to the board later.
