over 2,500 acres of pristine industrial land. The land is zoned for
quality economic development with parcel sizes ranging between 2.5 to
hundreds of acres. Local zoning provides opportunities for all business
types, including commercial, industrial and manufacturing. The Oxford
Economic Development team and the Planning and Zoning Commission are
dedicated to assisting the approval process that will help businesses
enter the marketplace as quickly as possible. Oxford is
also fortunate to have a diverse labor force. Located within the
Naugatuck Valley, Oxford has access to workers with a history of
excellent technology, manufacturing and industrial skills. Training
provided by seven regional technical and community colleges ensure that
skilled works will be available to employers for years to come.
Additionally, Oxford's proximity to major universities enables
businesses to draw upon highly educated, professional individuals for a
variety of employment needs. The quality
of life within Oxford is also an attractive benefit to local business.
The Oxford school system, public services and recreational activities
are priorities in the community. The picturesque countryside offers
outdoor attractions such as fishing, boating, picnicking, hiking,
horseback riding, and winter sports. Cultural events such as the summer
concert series and a multitude of community events complete the
