CHICKASHA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


The Chickasha Chamber is recognized as the front door of Chickasha and an advocate for the Chickasha business community. The Chickasha Chamber was started in the early 1900s by Chickasha businessmen who formed an organization to work together in the interest of Chickasha. Called the “Chickasha Commercial Club,” it later evolved into the Chickasha Chamber of Commerce which has been an important instrument in Chickasha’s stability since 1923.


The Chickasha Chamber houses a Board of Directors made up of member representatives from diverse areas of the business community.

At their monthly meeting in OKC this week, ODOT Commissioners voted on a full agenda of projects across the state and one of them was approving an 80/20 matching grant to do the engineering on building a pedestrian bridge from the Fairgrounds across the railroad tracks into Downtown. The City Council had also applied for a grant to redo the pedestrian bridge at Shannon Spring Park, but that grant was not approved. Hopefully that one will get approved next year. The significance of a pedestrian bridge for Downtown may be hard for some to understand, but it represents major progress in growing not just Downtown, but also the Grady County Fairgrounds. This first phase of engineering for the bridge will have a positive impact on plans to build a Hotel at the Fairgrounds, which will only add to all the amenities there already. Our Fairgrounds is regarded as the best in Oklahoma outside of OKC and Tulsa and now the future looks even brighter. With the engineering and planning on the bridge expected to start by the end of the year, actually starting construction will require another grant in a couple of years as well as other possible federal funding. So there is still a lot to be done, but the key is that we have moved from “talking about it” to actually planning it. During walking tours last week with both Senator Lankford and Lt. Governor Pinnell, they were both complimentary of the progress we have made in Chickasha and both were encouraged as our vision for the future was shared. To turn dreams into reality takes a lot of hard work and determination as well as celebrating some success along the way. It takes everyone working together! Now for those of you that are concerned the vision for growth is only for Downtown, there is some great news coming soon that doesn’t have anything to do with that area of town. You see our entire town is experiencing progress and growth. So much more to share in the coming months. Like the mural on the fence says: Chickasha Oklahoma…Good Things Happen Here! And that’s #TheGoodStuff!

This week we will welcome tourism professionals from all over the state to Chickasha as they attend Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell’s Tourism Summit. He works with the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association to put these on and only does two each year. We are honored to host one of them this year. As Lt. Governor, Pinnell has been an outspoken advocate for Tourism throughout Oklahoma and believes that it is the “front door” of Economic Development. Chickasha has long been a tourism destination during the Festival of Light, but in the last few years we have had a more strategic approach to drawing visitors to town. The Fairgrounds and The Sports Complex have also been attracting visitors from out of town, but recently we have worked to market to those groups more so that they are aware of everything we have to offer. We now have tourism brochures to hand out as our visitors arrive as well as rack cards at our state welcome centers when people make their first stop in Oklahoma. This past weekend, our Community hosted the Rock Island Weekend and welcomed visitors from all over Oklahoma as well as Texas, Kansas and Arkansas. Reagan Elkins captured an amazing picture of what Downtown looked like and it was shared all over the place. Wow did Chickasha look amazing! No wonder the Rock Island weekend partnership was recognized with an award from the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association! One of the most important visitors are the ones that grew up here, but now live somewhere else. I read multiple posts on social media from folks who hadn’t been in Chickasha in years and were amazed with what was going on. They enjoyed the event, but they loved what they saw in their hometown. Comments like: “I’m proud of my town and how far we have come in the last few years and look forward to the continued progress to make us a spot you want to visit” and “Proud of my home town and the growth of the community!!! Good things happening in Chickasha!” From the Leg Lamp to Ralphie’s House Airbnb to the Air Show and Christmas in July, we have so many answers to the “Why Chickasha” campaign that we have been promoting. To grow a City you first have to get someone to come and see what you have to offer. That is why our Lt. Governor says that Tourism is the front door to Economic Development. Welcome to Chickasha tourism officials, we are honored that you decided to Visit Chickasha and see all #TheGoodStuff we have to offer!
