A Section of County Road 102 Will Join College Hill Road

Eleven homes recently annexed into the city of Oxford will soon have a new address.

On Tuesday, the Oxford Board of Aldermen approved renaming a part of County Road 102 to College Hill Road.

The readdressing affects 11 structures – two homes that appear vacant, an unoccupied shop, one mini-storage business (Your Extra Closet) and seven occupied homes.

City Engineer Reanna Mayoral, who lives on the annexed road, said city staff has been working on new addresses for the annexed area for “some time” and coordinated with multiple agencies in making the change.

Mayoral said the city will start with the 11 structures to ensure all possible impacts have been considered before moving forward with the remaining addresses.

“It will allow me to see firsthand what all is happening so when we come back to future readdressing, I’ll have a better idea of all that needs to happen,” she said Tuesday.

City staff has drafted a letter to notify the affected property owners and residents of the address change and to provide guidance and information on how to make the transition.
