Oak Grove Center Plan

Oak Grove Center Rendering 2

LogoWe’ve been talking about how Oak Grove could become a new destination to: EAT. SHOP. ENTERTAIN. CONNECT.

We wrapped up four spring meetings in March and May 2018, involving nearly 170 members of the public.

In May 2019, we revealed the overarching vision, principles and core concepts for the area! Nearly 200 people attended the open house-style meetings and commented on projects that are proposed to be implemented over the next 20 years.
