Fundraising to remodel the former lumber yard building into a facility suitable to house a grocery store started in early 2012 and now is getting very close to the goal. According to Jo Hayes, Oxford Development Corporation fundraising chairman, “ There have been some very generous pledges made as fundraising reaches different plateaus to finish off the goal of $80,000.

Hayes reported that a little over $20,000 needs to be donated to reach the goal and start with the remolding process.
