The TACC Announces Support for Street and Sidewalk Sales Tax Extension

The Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Announces Support for Street and

Sidewalk Sales Tax Extension to Strengthen Local Economy

Tahlequah, OK – The Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has voted

to support the extension of the existing sales tax dedicated to Street and Sidewalk

improvements, which will be on the ballot during the Special Election on May 13, 2025.

This measure is vital to ensuring continued growth and investment in the community,

supporting essential services and infrastructure that benefit both residents and

businesses alike.

The extension of this sales tax is not a new tax but a continuation of an existing investment

in Tahlequah’s future. Revenue generated from this initiative will play a key role in

maintaining and enhancing critical public services, infrastructure improvements, and

community development projects. These improvements help sustain a thriving local

economy, attract new businesses, and enhance the quality of life for all who live, work, and

visit the area.

“The Chamber stands behind this initiative because it directly impacts the economic life of

Tahlequah,” said Nathan Reed, President/CEO of the Tahlequah Area Chamber of

Commerce. “By maintaining this funding, we are ensuring that our city remains

competitive, our businesses continue to thrive, and our residents benefit from well-

maintained and new street and sidewalk infrastructure. This is an opportunity for our

community to keep moving forward.”

Supporting this measure means supporting the future of Tahlequah. With these funds, the

City can continue to invest in projects that foster economic stability, enhance public

spaces, and provide long-term benefits for generations to come. The Chamber encourages

all residents to stay informed, understand the impact of this decision, and participate in

the upcoming election.
