To further define Oakley, it will need to have a heart + the center of the community and the center of commerce. This is the vision of the historic downtown area.
To further define Oakley, it will need to have a heart + the center of the community and the center of commerce. This is the vision of the historic downtown area. The City Council made a cognizant decision to locate City Hall in downtown to be an anchor for business and jobs. New businesses have moved in and existing businesses are relocating to take advantage of the coming improvements. We are working to make downtown Oakley the central gathering point for our community. The Harvest Festival, Christmas Tree lighting, Memorial and Veterans Day observance and events sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce (The Almond Festival) will be located downtown. To keep you spending your dollars in Oakley we have initiated, with the Chamber of Commerce, an "Oakley First" program to educate the public about shopping and dining opportunities in Oakley. Recent discussions have included moving the library from Freedom to the recently vacated CentroMart.
