The Town of Oxford is committed to facing future changes with preparation and determination. In order to maintain the necessary forward momentum in the face of Climate Change, Sea Level Rise, and the ever changing Economy, the town has established a Community Resilience Committee to act as keepers of the information and to inform citizens and elected officials over time.
