Downtown Oxford has remained a vibrant business center with over 120 businesses. In 2014/15 the City of Oxford worked with downtown businesses, property owners, and citizens to build upon the recent NCSU study to formulate a long-term comprehensive masterplan for the downtown. The plan will address both economic/business development strategies as well as plans for a more pedestrian-friendly and attractive streetscape with additional parking.
