Dear Pottsboro Businesses,
As our community continues to grow, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment: What does economic development look like for a town like Pottsboro?
Growth is coming, as it always does, but the way we guide it will shape the character and opportunities of our city for years to come. That’s why we want to start a conversation with the big questions:
- How do we attract businesses that make sense for Pottsboro?
- What types of businesses do we truly need to serve our residents and visitors?
- What industries would create jobs and revenue while still preserving the small-town character we love?
- Just as importantly, what kinds of businesses don’t align with the values and vision of our city?
Economic development is not just about growth, it’s about the right kind of growth. The choices we make today will determine whether Pottsboro thrives as a place of opportunity, community, and family life, or whether growth feels imposed rather than embraced.
And this is not a dialogue for a few people in a room. It’s a conversation for all of us. The Chamber will be convening opportunities—through community chats, surveys, and conversations—for you to share your thoughts so we can:
- Identify the businesses and industries that strengthen our town.
- Preserve the character of Pottsboro while creating opportunity for the next generation.
- Send a clear message to potential investors about what we welcome and what we don’t.
Let’s begin this conversation with open minds, big ideas, and the shared belief that Pottsboro’s best days are ahead.
Stay tuned for details on how you can engage, share your input, and help shape the future of our town.
With respect and anticipation,
Nathan Knottingham
Chamber President, 2025
