From The Editor: Hello Oxford
"As I begin my chapter in Oxford, I remind myself of the ground I stand on, all 7.78 square miles of it. What makes this ground special is not a specific building, place or person; it’s the community as a whole."
Thank you, Sean
"I first met Sean in November 2023, when he was preparing a story for the Journal-News on the update of Oxford Township’s Land Use Plan."
