Mayor's State of the City - Reflecting on Progress: Oakdale's 2024 Achievements and 2025 Vision

On behalf of the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the 2025 Mayor's State of the City event. It was an incredible opportunity to come together as a community to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year and look ahead to the exciting projects planned for 2025.


Celebrating Economic Growth

One of the key highlights of the event was the progress Oakdale has made in economic growth. This past year, the city welcomed several new businesses, adding to our vibrant local economy. Additionally, the Downtown Revitalization Project has drawn visitors from near and far, showcasing the unique charm of our community. These efforts not only contribute to Oakdale's appeal but also reinforce the city as a hub of growth and innovation.


Advancing Infrastructure and Public Safety

Infrastructure improvements and public safety initiatives were also front and center. The city has made significant investments in road improvements to enhance connectivity and safety for all residents. Mayor Cher Bairos took a moment to commend Police Chief Jerry Ramar for his dedication to ensuring Oakdale remains a safe and welcoming place to live and work. The enhanced public safety measures highlight the city’s unwavering commitment to protecting its citizens.

Focus on Youth and Education

Mayor Bairos emphasized the importance of fostering opportunities for Oakdale’s youth. A notable highlight was the return of the Leadership Oakdale program, which plays a vital role in nurturing future leaders. Additionally, the city celebrated the efforts of local community organizations in hosting successful career fairs that prepare the next generation for the workforce. These initiatives reflect Oakdale’s investment in education and personal development for its residents.


Honoring Community and Traditions

Oakdale’s sense of community and rich traditions were celebrated through events like the Oakdale Rodeo, Morning Market, Concerts in the Park, and Small Town Christmas. These cherished events bring people together, fostering a sense of pride and unity that makes Oakdale truly special. Mayor Bairos expressed his gratitude for the residents and organizations that make these moments possible.


Ensuring a Strong Financial Foundation

Maintaining financial stability remains a top priority for the city council. Mayor Bairos highlighted the council’s goal of sustaining a 40% General Fund Reserve to ensure Oakdale’s fiscal health. Efforts to keep tax dollars within the community were also emphasized as critical to supporting the city’s ongoing growth and development.


Exciting Updates on the Greger Street Project

One of the most anticipated updates shared during the event was the progress on the Greger Street Project. Phase 1 of the new Greger Sports Park is nearing completion and will feature a large grass turf area for soccer and other sports, a tennis court, four pickleball courts, restroom facilities, a covered picnic area, and a spacious parking lot. Future phases will bring even more amenities, including a large multi-court gymnasium and playground equipment, ensuring the park becomes a premier recreational destination for Oakdale families.


Looking Ahead

The city is also gearing up for numerous street improvement projects in the coming year, further enhancing Oakdale’s infrastructure and ensuring smooth commutes for residents and visitors alike.

In closing, Mayor Bairos expressed deep gratitude to the residents of Oakdale for their continued support and engagement. The achievements of 2024 and the plans for 2025 reflect the hard work and dedication of city staff, community leaders, and residents who share a vision of progress and unity.


Thank you, Oakdale, for your unwavering commitment to making our city a wonderful place to live, work, and thrive. Together, we look forward to another year of growth and success!
