Oxford Residents Asked to Approve $17K for Senior Center Floor Fix

Next month, March 10 to be exact, Oxford residents will be asked at a town meeting to approve $17,200 to repair the floor at the Oxford Senior Center, reports Jordan Otero, of the Republican-American.

The floor has been an issue for some time, and the primary issue is the floor’s subsurface is uneven and the tiles won’t stick currently and it could lead to buckling.

Officials originally estimated the work would cost $21,000 but Oxford Flooring agreed to do it for $15,000, Otero reports.

The original floor is buckling and needs to be stripped and then about 2,800-square-feet of tile needs to go down.

The selectmen expressed confidence that tile and not carpeting is the best fix for the floor.
