Choice Neighborhood Early Action Activity

The Oxnard Housing Authority, in collaboration with the City of Oxnard, is initiating a public enhancement project focused on the exterior spaces of the Housing Authority Building at 300 N. Marquita Street and the nearby City-owned facility at 1500 Camino Del Sol in the La Colonia Neighborhood. The project includes the creation of three large-scale outdoor murals designed through community engagement to reflect the cultural identity, agricultural heritage, and local history of the area, alongside the installation of new fence screen coverings to replace existing ones and comprehensive landscaping improvements aimed at beautifying and revitalizing the surrounding public environment. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to elevate the aesthetic and social value of the neighborhood through art and design that resonates with residents and visitors alike. The initiative is formally designated under the Choice Neighborhood Early Action Activity and was posted as a forecast on July 30, 2026, with Jasmine McGinty, the Economic Development Manager for the City of Oxnard, serving as the primary point of contact. Although no solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned yet, the project is positioned as a precursor to deeper investment under the Choice Neighborhoods framework, signaling an intent to catalyze long-term neighborhood improvement. All work will be carried out within Oxnard, California, with coordination between city agencies and community stakeholders to ensure the outputs align with local values and aspirations.
