Supervisors greenlight site plans for business and subdivisions in Oxford

During their regular meeting on Monday, the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors approved several site plans, both preliminary and final. One of the approved projects includes The County Line Grill, a new restaurant to be located near the Panola County line on Highway 310. The owners, Rickey and Penny Roberts, received approval on their final site plan from the supervisors. This is exciting news for the county and for those looking forward to trying out the new dining option.

Another project that received approval is the Old Oaks of Oxford, located on County Road 217 (Campground Road). This development received approval for its Phase 10 final commercial subdivision plat, which consists of 19 lots. Joel Hollowell, director of development services, commended the owners of Old Oaks for their exemplary business practices and success with the project thus far.

The Merion subdivision also received approval for its Phase 2 preliminary subdivision plat. This subdivision had previously been granted a conditional use permit for a 146-lot subdivision in 2021. They received final approval for 49 lots in Phase 1 in July 2023 and are now moving forward with an additional 57 lots in Phase 2. Sales have been successful for the Merion subdivision, with 21 houses sold as of May 17 and many more under construction.

Additionally, the Board approved the preliminary and final site plan for the future Pine Crest Cove subdivision off CR 217. This new development plans to build 15 one-bedroom homes and 15 two-bedroom homes. The approval of these site plans is a positive step forward for economic development in Lafayette County and will provide new housing options for residents in the area.
