On Behalf of the Chickasha Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank you for showing an interest in our great city, and for wanting to learn more about the opportunities that await you in Chickasha Oklahoma.
Chickasha is a city on the move that places great emphasis on education, and quality of life. Located on highway 81 and interstate 44, Chickasha is blessed with a transportation infrastructure that provides easy access to larger metropolitan markets, while allowing it to keep the small town appeal.
In Chickasha we believe that a community should endeavor to provide world class education and great quality of life for all of our residents. This is a great city to raise a family, and live an abundant and rewarding life.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Jerry Weber
Chairman
