As the Shawnee community continues to clean up from an EF2 tornado that tore through a major vein of the city, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber is providing data and research that will help community leaders better connect with businesses impacted along the storm route.
The Greater OKC Chamber research team recently met with Shawnee city leadership to share that more than 1,700 businesses and 16,000 employees may have been impacted by the storm.
Jeff Seymour, executive vice president for economic development for the Greater OKC Chamber, said the Chamber’s support for Oklahoma City’s regional communities is never ending.
“One of the real strengths of our organization is the ability to use data to help companies/community leaders make informed decisions,” Seymour said. “The work of the Chamber is important on so many levels — including but not limited to community resiliency.”
