Sams club construction to begin in Oxford

After delays involving the site, officials say that construction of the new Sam’s Club in Oxford is set to begin before the end of the year. The cost saving club will be located beside Kohl’s in the Oxford Exchange. Sam’s Club Public Relations Manager Mark Scott says the new store is expected to create 175 jobs for the Oxford community. They hope to open their doors in the summer 2014. Oxford Mayor Leon Smith says the city is ready for the development to take shape.  The city spent 2.6 million dollars on site preparation for the business. An issue involving the foundation on the site had caused delays on the construction.
