The group finds data on improving Oxford, their latest compared Oxford with other counties.

Randy Peltz, Chair for the Future Oxford Partnership on their data work.

"There are 72 actions approximately in the community sustainability plan and so amongst those actions we need to lay a foundation of data. What is our wellbeing in Oxford County?"

Rick Cox, member of the Future Oxford Committee says their short term plan is to help the county with their understanding of the sustainability plan.

"One of our main goals as a Future Oxford group is to help more people in Oxford understand what the sustainability plan is and how it will benefit them to get behind it and push on meeting some of the objectives.
