Property West of Hattiesburg May Become Oak Grove City Limits

May 23, 2006 on 5:42 pm | In General Real Estate |

The final meeting of the Oak Grove Property Owners Association is tonight May 23 at 6:30 p.m in the Oak Grove High School auditorium. During this meeting the association will be discussing efforts to turn Oak Grove into a city.

The plans for the city stretch from just north of Hwy 98 to just south of Richburg Road and from just east of Hedgwood Road to just west of Hwy 589. This area covers about 20 square miles and would contain about 10,000 voters.

In order for the Oak Grove area to be turned into a city the association must get 6,667 signatures for petitions to be turned in to the chancery court.

This will be interesting to see how this all works out from a real estate point of view and the effects that it has on the population.
