Borough of Oxford Names Senator Pileggi
"Outstanding Citizen"

The Borough of Oxford recently presented the Outstanding Citizen Award to Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9).

"We would truly be lost without his dedication and support," said Oxford Borough Council President Randy Teel. "Senator Pileggi has supported the borough on grants for our police department and for Oxford Mainstreet, Inc."

The award was presented to Senator Pileggi during Oxford's 175th Anniversary celebration. The plaque presented to Senator Pileggi says, "Through his support of the Borough and Oxford Mainstreet, Inc., he has made our Borough a better place to live, work and grow."

"It is an honor to receive this award," said Senator Pileggi. "A lot of exciting things are happening in Oxford, and it is a privilege to represent the residents of this fine community in the state Senate."

Oxford Borough is located in southern Chester County. The borough was created in 1833, and the first borough council was elected five years later. In the mid 1800s, a number of beautiful Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne and Victorian homes were built in Oxford, some of which are still in existence today.
