Oxford City Hall Moving

Due to the construction of the new Community Center/City Hall at the current City Hall Building site, we are moving city operations to the building currently used as a Community Center and Police Department at Emory and Whatcoat Streets. Beginning Monday, December 7, 2009, all city business will be conducted from that location. Business hours will remain 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Telephone service may be temporarily interrupted (a couple of hours at the most), but the number will remain the same, 770-786-7004. All city services will continue uninterrupted. The emergency number (911) will continue to be available 24 hours, seven days a week.
