INSIDE OXFORD

From 2018 to 2019, the population of Lafayette County rose from 53,542 to 54,019 – a 0.89% percent increase from the year before.

The city of Oxford has more than doubled its population over the last 20 years, although much of this has been due to annexation. In 2018, Mayor Robyn Tannehill and the Board of Supervisors signed off on the city’s largest annexation to date, nearly doubling the square mileage of the city. Oxford is the 12th-largest city in Mississippi.

Lafayette County is the third-fastest growing county in Mississippi for the second year in a row.

Since the 2010 U.S. Census, Lafayette County has gained more than 8,160 residents, which resulted in a 17.8% percent increase.

TRAVEL & LEISURE

GETTING HERE & GETTING AWAY There are plenty of ways to get to Lafayette County and plenty of ways to take the occasional getaway.

No matter what you do or where you go, Oxford offers the perfect blend of small-town seclusion with big-city access, making it an ideal location.

TRANSPORTATION

AROUND TOWN There are a number of ways to get around town, with various modes of travel, as well as several routes that can be taken. Here are some common names you’ll run into when out and about in the LOU Community.

THE MAIN DRAGS:

THE CUT-THROUGHS:

—The Square is Oxford’s downtown and traditional commercial center. Traffic flows in a counter-clockwise direction.

—North Lamar Boulevard stretches from the Square through a historic residential district, before opening up into a commercial corridor and meeting Highway 30. As “Old Highway 7 North,” it runs past the Lafayette County Industrial Park and finally up to Abbeville.

—South Lamar Boulevard runs from the Square across Highway 6 and into the center of Oxford’s medical district. It becomes “Old Highway 7 South” and meets “New 7” south of town.

—University Avenue runs from the heart of the University of Mississippi campus eastward to meet both Highway 7 and Highway 6 at the eastern edge of town.

—Jackson Avenue runs through the Square westward past the University campus, and turns into the town’s western commercial thoroughfare before ending at Highway 6.

—Highways 6 and 7 with their on- and offramps provide quick access by skirting the city’s southern and eastern edges.

—Gertrude Ford Boulevard is a shortcut to get from Jackson Avenue to Highway 6 at Old Taylor Road along the old railroad bed – without getting stuck in campus traffic.

—Molly Barr Road and McElroy Drive connect to form a speedy route across the northern portion of town between Highway 7 and College Hill Road.

—Anchorage Road is a curvy, dangerous road used as a shortcut between Anderson Road and Old Sardis Road.

Hathorn Road, which connects West Jackson Avenue with Coliseum Drive at the rear of campus, is heavily traveled by traffic from apartments.

ALSO KNOWN AS: —Four Corners: the intersection of University Avenue and South Lamar Boulevard, where Abner’s is located.

—Three Way: The intersection of Molly Barr Road/Highway 30 and North Lamar Boulevard/ Old Highway 7.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Lafayette County is not immune to natural disasters. Severe thunderstorms that produce lightning and hail are common in the late spring and early summer months. Winter storms, including ice storms, are possible, as well as flash flooding and even earthquakes.

The Lafayette County and Oxford emergency management agencies encourage each and every new family who moves into Lafayette County to purchase a Specific Area Message Encoding NOAA All-Hazards Radio for weather and disaster warnings and information. Both agencies will help in the selection and programming of these radios if you have any questions on what to purchase or on the use of the radio. In Oxford, tune into 1630 AM for emergency information.

COMMUNITY STORM SHELTERS Lafayette County and the City of Oxford have installed community storm shelters at most county fire stations and city buildings. The shelters are to remain empty, open and unlocked.

Not meant for long-term sheltering, they’re a place to take cover in the event of severe wind storms, severe lightning or tornadoes. Each set of shelters holds 38 people, but as many as 60 can squeeze in if need be. Shelters are for humans and guide dogs only.

WARNING SIRENS Tornado warning sirens are located throughout the Oxford city limits and on the University of Mississippi campus. These sirens are tested every Wednesday at noon, weather permitting.

Lafayette County currently has 27 sirens placed around areas like Taylor, Abbeville and Harmontown. A link to a map of the locations of the county sirens and shelters can be found on the EMA page of the Lafayette County website: LafayetteCOMS.com.

If you have any questions or need more information on specific emergencies or volunteer opportunities, call Oxford Emergency Management Coordinator Jimmy Allgood at 662816-7649 or Lafayette County Emergency Management Coordinator Steve Quarles at 662-234-5667.

HOLLY SPRINGS NATIONAL FOREST Much of the land in the northeast corner of Lafayette County falls within the Holly Springs National Forest. Two of the more popular areas within this national forest are Puskus Lake and Upper Sardis Wildlife Management Area. For more information about these local recreation areas, call 662-236-6550.

HUNTING Hunting in and around Lafayette County provides those who enjoy the outdoors a number of exciting choices of game. From deer hunting in the fall and winter to turkey hunting in the spring, public wildlife management areas are just a 20- to 30-minute drive from downtown Oxford.

Hunters have an opportunity there to track the most popular and smartest of game Mississippi has to offer.

While not every hunting trip produces a trophy buck, the time spent outdoors can provide a level of rest and relaxation that’s hard to find anywhere.

FISHING The lakes and rivers in and around Lafayette County are ideal for fishermen, while boating enthusiasts have an array of places to investigate from the water.

BOATING GUIDE Anglers who own boats or pleasure boaters can launch from various areas located around Sardis, Enid, Grenada and Puskus lakes. Some of the most popular boat landings at Sardis are located at Pat’s Bluff and Cole’s Point (both are located off Highway 6), Clear Creek (located off Highway 314) and Hurricane Landing (located off Highway7).

Sardis Lake, as well as many of the other lakes around the Oxford area, is a great place for those just wishing to get some sun and have a little fun. Pleasure boaters frequently use the lake for skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, parasailing and swimming.

mTRADE PARK AT OXFORD-LAFAYETTE FIELDS Oxford-Lafayette parks are pristine playgrounds that attract visitors and traveling sports teams.

For the past 11 years, mTrade Park, Oxford’s sports-field complex, has given local youth athletes as well as those around the state a place to enjoy the spirit of competition.

The park was renamed to mTrade Park in 2020 after mTrade formally purchased the naming rights. For the 10 years prior, it was called FNC Park.

The end result of years of political wrangling and pleas from parents, the 75-acre complex features five-regulation-size soccer fields with lights, 10 baseball fields — four of which have synthetic turf — four 315-foot softball fields with lights, 24 shade structures covering the bleachers on each baseball and softball field, a bike path and space to park more than 950 cars.

In 2014, the Oxford Ortho indoor practice facility with six retractable batting cages and 34 | INSIDE OXFORD

synthetic turf was built. Donations of $150,000 each from the City and Lafayette County as well as Oxford Orthopedics were made to help fund construction of the facility, which also has an observation deck and concession stand.

The park opened in the spring of 2009, with families filling the park on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Weekends normally draw traveling teams from all over the country for tournaments. The indoor facility is open Monday-Thursday from 4-9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and Sunday from 1-6 p.m. mTrade Park is operated through the Oxford Park Commission and is being paid for through a partnership between the City and Lafayette County governments, along with local sponsors.

The park is located at 328 Old Sardis Road.

CHAMBER AND EDF The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Foundation are two entities sharing a common staff and facility, and with similar but distinct missions to enhance the community’s business environment. For newcomers, it’s worth a stop by the chamber office to meet the staff and browse the stacks of business cards and handouts. It can be a good starting point for learning about your new community and finding the services you need here.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce is the most dynamic business organization in our community, where businesses and professionals come together to work to improve the business climate and quality of life for our area.

With more than 682 members, the Chamber strives to under-take programs and projects, which seek a positive business climate conducive to growth of the private enterprise system, raising per capita income and providing strong financial, physical and human resources, for the citizens of Oxford and Lafayette County.

As a business organization, these goals are accomplished through a variety of networking opportunities, business referrals, leadership programs, or other resources available exclusively to Chamber members.

The Chamber also has newcomer packets readily available at their office, packed with helpful information for those individuals and families new to the Oxford-Lafayette County area. These packets may be downloaded on the website as well.

A full list of members and membership benefits can be found on the Chamber web-site at www.oxfordms.com.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION EDF’s mission is to create jobs and investment by assisting with the creation and/or recruitment of new business and supporting existing ones through a public-private partnership. The goal is to keep existing jobs

and grow new ones, expanding opportunities for both local workers and businesses.

EDF staff facilitates visits to town by industry executives, acting as hosts to show off potential business sights and provide a thorough tour of the area. When industries show interest, EDF’s job is to work with those executives and local and state governments to clear the way of any obstacles while facilitating the location of the project.

The EDF has had many of its points of pride to celebrate over the years; such as securing the location of the VA Nursing Home and industries like Caterpillar Inc. and OlinWinchester’s Rimfire and Centerfire Division.

The EDF has also facilitated the expansion of numerous existing businesses and industries: Its most recent, the expansion of OlinWinchester’s Centerfire Division, which will bring approximately1,000 jobs over a five-year period with a $100 million investment.

It’s since had a key role in promoting a technology agenda by facilitating the growth of the LOU Entrepreneurial Alliance; and establishing partnerships with the University of Mississippi’s School of Business, Center for Manufacturing Excellence and Innovation HUB at Insight Park. Among cur-rent projects, EDF continues to promote Oxford through its highly successful Retiree Attraction Program; working with the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors on upgrades to the Lafayette County Industrial Park, and in promoting the development f Oxford’s creative economy and tourism efforts.

MEDICAL RESOURCES

BAPTIST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - NORTH MISSISSIPPI BMH North Mississippi and the surrounding medical center draws patients from surrounding counties.

Baptist launched a new era of patient care in our region three years ago, opening the doors of the new Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi located at 1100 Belk Boulevard in Oxford.

This larger, ultra-modern hospital has given BMH

52

|

INSIDE OXFORD

North Mississippi more room to serve patients with their cutting-edge technology, highly skilled physicians and innovative health care. Their unprecedented growth in 2019 demonstrates BMH North Mississippi is committed to this

region and to providing its residents with the most comprehensive medical services available this day and age.

The hospital is approximately 600,000 square feet and stands five stories high, plus a lower level. It houses 217 beds, a 13-bed acute rehabilitation unit, 10 operating rooms, and more. Its advanced technology and carefullyplanned, efficient layout add to the hospital’s pleasantness.

In comparison to its old location, the newer hospital has a more efficient flow for both patients and staff. The old hospital seemed like a maze; it was broken up into two different buildings.

“We’re a regional hospital, so we wanted to give it a regional feel,” said Jondi Roberson, the Director of Marketing and Provider Relations.

Architects examined and researched the Ole Miss campus and community in order to bring in aspects that reflect all that is Oxford.

Most of the first floor is filled with art from local artists that are “indicative of the Oxford region,” according to Roberson. Paintings of some of

Ole Miss’s most beloved buildings in bright, vivid color hang above couches in waiting areas.

Shelves of William Faulkner memorabilia are situated in the lobby.

The main entrance lobby of the hospital is one of its most impressive features. High ceilings, plenty of seating, and a welcoming front desk greet visitors upon arrival. A roomy cafeteria, coffee shop, and gift shop each lie adjacent to the lobby. With an appearance that rivals a five-star hotels’, the hospital’s lobby is both appealing and a place of comfort.

In 2019 alone, BMH North Mississippi welcomed 45 new physicians into the fold in an effort to provide patients with state-of-the-art care in their own back yard.

For over nearly 30 years, their physicians and staff have been caring for patients while focusing on innovation, research and quality.

The services they provide to our community offer access to great healthcare close to home. Their care providers are here for you in times of need, but also as your neighbors, friends and family.

Now is the time to get better with Baptist.

LAW & ORDER The Lafayette-Oxford-University community has five law enforcement agencies working around the clock to make sure it stays a safe place for its citizens. The Oxford Police Department covers the city limits with interim Chief Jeff McCutchen heading the department. The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office is headed by interim Sheriff John Hill. With just five deputies on each shift, the Sheriff’s Department patrols all of Lafayette County outside of the city limits. The Lafayette County Metro Narcotics Unit was formed as a partnership with Oxford and Lafayette County police departments. The unit handles most of the area’s major drug cases.

LOCAL LIQUOR LAWS While recent years have seen law enforcement toughen up on problems like underage drinking and DUIs, the party is still going strong in Oxford.

A lot of people come to this town simply to have a good time, and drinking is as much a part of football game day traditions as ever. The challenge of enjoying yourself without getting into trouble is knowing what you can legally drink, and where and when. It isn’t as simple as you might think.

The Oxford-Lafayette-University community is like a patchwork of jurisdictions, each with its own set of rules. The evolution of all these laws dates back to Prohibition in the 1920s, and includes a series of city and county referendums from the 1930s to the ’70s. The University of Mississippi opted for a more pragmatic approach than its longstanding

prohibition policy, falling back on the state and local laws already in existence. The catch is that while most of the campus is not technically in Oxford’s city limits, some of it is, and therefore even the campus itself does not operate under a single set of rules. Oxford now requires people to register at City Hall if they want to buy a keg of beer and partial Sunday sales were approved Four years ago after more than a year of debates and committee work. In late 2013, the Oxford Board of Aldermen drastically changed Oxford’s alcohol laws by allowing cold beer sales seven days a week at gas stations and grocery and convenience stores and for voting to allow Sunday alcohol sales at bars and restaurants only. Beer and light wine can purchased on Sundays at off-site locations.

HERE’S A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF WHAT’S ALLOWED WHERE: ON CAMPUS — Most of the campus is “wet” for wine and liquor, but “dry” for beer. Areas east of the University Avenue Bridge including Oxford-University Stadium are “wet” for beer, too.

— Alcohol left unattended or in plain sight is considered “distribution” and can be confiscated.

Kegs, party balls and other means of “common supply” are banned, as are things like funnels and shots.

— Alcohol is illegal inside the gates of sporting events. If you drink during tailgating, use a cup instead of a labeled can and walking away from your cooler gives security the right to seize.

IN OXFORD CITY LIMITS — You can now buy cold beer at service stations and grocery stores, including Sundays.

— Liquor cannot be sold on Sunday at off-site locations, other than beer and light wine. Alcoholic drinks can be purchased on Sundays at restaurant and bars.

— Bars close at 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday but alcohol is not sold after 1 a.m. On Sundays, bars may sell alcohol from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

— Brown bag permit is allowed at several restaurants in Oxford which allows you to bring your own wine, liquor and beer during regular serving hours.

IN LAFAYETTE COUNTY — You can’t buy alcohol outside the Oxford city limits – except for packaged wine and liquor in Abbeville.

— You can take your own wine and liquor to “brown bag” restaurants in the county but taking beer is illegal.

— Castle Hill has “resort status” and is therefore able to serve alcohol in the county any day. The Ravine and Plein Air in Taylor have modified resort status, and follow the guidelines of the city.
