The Oakland County infrastructure committee voted to forward the Meadows of Oxford Brownfield Redevelopment Plan to the Finance Committee and set a public hearing under Public Act 381 of 1996 for Jan. 22, 2026 at 6 p.m. at the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Auditorium, 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac.

Kristen Wilton of the county planning division and Brad Hanson summarized the project: a housing development on a 3.86-acre vacant parcel at 147 South Washington in the village of Oxford. The plan envisions 32 units (16 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom units) and an estimated total investment of $9.4 million. About seven units (roughly 22 percent) would be set aside as workforce or attainable housing for a 15-year period. Wilton said developer reimbursement for eligible activities would be paid back over about 14–15 years, and the Brownfield plan includes a local site revolving loan fund component in the final five years of capture.

Commissioners asked about the duration of the affordability requirement; staff confirmed the 15‑year timeframe coincides with developer reimbursement. The committee voted 7–0 to forward the plan and announce the public hearing date and location.

What happens next: The plan will be considered by the Finance Committee following the public hearing on Jan. 22, 2026.
