Streetscape Project 2009 Starting shortly, the sidewalks on part of South Third Street will be undergoing a transformation.  With new lighting, sidewalks, parking meters, planters, etc. the streets will be enhanced and brought back to the charm of yesteryear.  With this construction comes growing pains and inconvenience to our valued customers.  Please don't let the construction keep you at bay.  Free public parking is located in a large lot behind Fulton Bank (across from the Oxford Public Library) and off of Broad Street.  In addition metered parking is available on most surrounding downtown streets.  We are excited about the changes that will be happening downtown - we hope you will be pleased with the results.    Oxford is a National Historic District!
