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.

Chickasha is stepping into the holiday season with a bright bit of news. The Chickasha Festival of Light has again been nominated as a Top 10 Christmas Light Display in the country by the USA Today! That kind of recognition does not just happen. It comes from decades of dedication and pride poured in by the people who call this place home. Please consider logging in and voting on this Readers’ Choice poll. The Festival of Light did not grow into a nationally known attraction through luck. It grew because hundreds of volunteers give their time, energy, and heart to create something magical for families near and far. From stringing lights to directing traffic to greeting guests with a warm Oklahoma smile, these folks show what community spirit really looks like. They deserve every bit of praise that comes with this nomination. Then you add in the crews from the City of Chickasha that started working at Shannon Springs park in September and the pride they take in making sure everything looks so good. A Top 10 spotlight brings more than glowing headlines. It brings visitors, activity, and momentum for our local economy. Chickasha businesses are preparing for what promises to be one of the busiest holiday seasons yet. More families walking Downtown. More meals shared at local restaurants. More shopping with local merchants. Every light at the park helps spark opportunity across our community. Last Friday, Intellego Medio released the documentary Fragile’ on streaming platforms. It tells the story of the Chickasha Leg Lamp the past few years and will showcase everything that has happened. Expect TV, Radio, Newspapers, Podcasts and social media highlighting our town just in time for the holiday season, giving visitors another reason to experience our Community! This nomination is a reminder of what happens when people step up and believe in their town. That is the heartbeat of #TheGoodStuff. Chickasha keeps rising because our community keeps choosing to invest in one another. As the lights shine brighter this Christmas season, so will the spirit of the people who make it all possible. At the State of the City, Mayor Zach Grayson said there are three words that define our Community right now: Unified, Thriving and Unstoppable! I can’t think of a better description!
It wasn’t that long ago that Chickasha was the one traveling to other towns to see what was working. We were studying how they grew their downtowns, recruited industry, and created momentum. Today, that script has flipped. Chickasha is now welcoming other communities for visits. Recently, we’ve had emails and calls from communities like Hobart, Atoka, Weatherford, and Comanche, all wanting to learn what’s happening here. They see the new retail chains choosing Chickasha, the growing energy around our downtown, the progress at the Airport Industrial Park, and the collaboration between our public and private sectors. They’re asking, “How are you doing it?” And that’s something we can all take pride in. Because what’s happening in Chickasha isn’t the result of one program, one business, or one person — it’s the collective effort of an entire community choosing to move forward together. From City Hall to Main Street, from our business leaders to everyday residents who support local events and shops, Chickasha is showing what can happen when people believe in their town. Success builds on success and others are noticing. We have had visits from all the leading Governor and Lt. Governor candidates that are seeking election next year. They are interested in what we are doing and how can they connect with our leaders. Despite our recent success, we have so many things to work on, so many areas we need to get better. We are making significant progress, but still have so much to do. It’s rewarding when other towns look to Chickasha for inspiration, but we can’t lose the momentum we currently have. Having other towns respect what we are doing, that’s not just good news for us, it’s proof that progress is contagious. We’re not just growing; we’re leading by example. And that’s #TheGoodStuff.
If you’ve been driving around Chickasha lately, you’ve probably noticed something — progress is in the air, and it’s showing up in every corner of our Community. From smoother roads to big investments in our future, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years yet for the City of Chickasha. Let’s start with something everyone can appreciate: better streets. The City of Chickasha has been hard at work repaving and improving roads all across town. These infrastructure upgrades not only make daily commutes safer and smoother, but they also signal to residents and visitors alike that Chickasha is a Community investing in itself. Good roads lead to good impressions and that’s exactly what we want people to experience when they come to our town. Another major step forward is the City’s ongoing work to secure bids for a new water treatment plant. This is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in decades — an investment that will ensure clean, reliable water for homes, businesses, and future growth. It’s a project that’s not just about today, but about building a foundation for tomorrow. Economic development is also seeing tremendous momentum because the City has been working closely with the EDC and developer Chet Hitt to recruit new businesses to the Chickasha Airport Industrial Park. These partnerships are already paying off, with new companies taking notice of Chickasha’s strategic location, skilled workforce, and business-friendly environment. Every new manufacturer or employer that chooses Chickasha adds strength to our local economy and opportunity for our citizens. Don’t forget about those major Retail announcements a couple of months ago, can’t wait to see them start opening at the end of 2026. But it’s not all hard hats and infrastructure. Chickasha continues to shine when it comes to Community spirit and celebration. The City is once again a major sponsor of two of our most beloved events: the Oklahoma Food Truck Championship and the Festival of Light. These events attract thousands of visitors each year and showcase the best of who we are, creative, welcoming, and full of small-town charm with big-time heart. From economic development to Community engagement, it’s clear the City of Chickasha is moving in the right direction. These aren’t just projects or sponsorships — they’re investments in people, in pride, and in progress. Thank you to the Mayor, City Council our City Manager and all the City staff! #TheGoodStuff is happening all around us. Let’s take time to appreciate it, because it hasn’t always been that way. Chickasha is shining brighter than ever because when we all work together, great things happen. Right now… Chickasha is proving that momentum builds success!
