OXFORD – Hundreds of Oxford residents will see a survey in their mailbox this week that may help village officials to pursue millions of dollars in state and federal grants.

The survey seeks to offset data obtained in the 2010 U.S. Census which Mayor Terry Stark says doesn’t accurately reflect the median household income of village residents.

Since the village’s median household income in the 2010 Census is above the minimum eligibility threshold for many grant funding opportunities, Stark said a local survey would reflect a more accurate income level that would open doors for more successful grant applications.
