Oakland is on of the fastest-growing city in Tennessee. Oakland has experienced rapid residential growth, with people attracted to the low tax rates, affordable housing, safe environment and easy access to larger metropolitan areas. New opportunities for retail and commercial development have followed the residential growth, bringing to Oakland residents big city conveniences while maintaining the friendly, small town atmosphere.

As the population has grown, Oakland has worked hard to provide services that exceed the community’s expectations. Oakland is a Storm Ready Community (the second in the State of Tennessee to reach that status) with a state-of-the-art emergency operations center. The police and fire departments protect the community 24 hours a day, and in fact, Oakland is proud to have the best ISO rating of any community in Fayette County. The city has maintained its debt-free status, in spite of building a new $6,000,000 wastewater treatment facility, and the sanitation department provides twice-a-week pickup to residents in the community. The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts department is busy planning and implementing new parks and recreational programs for children and seniors in the community.
