A big thank you to everyone who braved the cold to vote and make your voice heard.
Great things are on the horizon for Choctaw!
Today is the day to make your voice heard! The city encourages everyone to get out and vote — your vote matters!
As we look forward to the future, let’s take a moment to celebrate the progress we've already made! Check out these photos from the past.
In the last two years, Choctaw has made major strides forward! In partnership with the county, we’ve repaved two miles of roads and Harper Road (between 10th and 23rd) is scheduled for repaving this spring. We've also completed Phase 1 of the 10-Acre Lake Trail thanks to a grant from the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation.
For the first time in years, our emergency services are fully staffed ensuring faster response times and greater public safety.
Several new businesses have opened, and more are on the way, bringing jobs and opportunities to our community. To support this growth, we restructured zoning and updated our development code, making it easier to build and open businesses in Choctaw.
Plus, community favorites like Old Timers’ Day and the Halloween event are back! This means more opportunities for residents to come together and celebrate what makes Choctaw special.
The City Council is committed to keeping residents informed and transparency is a top priority.
The last few years have brought a lot of great progress to Choctaw, and we have a bright future ahead! Be sure to vote tomorrow!
"Your vote, your choice, your future! Go vote!
VOTE!
This Tuesday, February 11th, 2025!
🗳️ Choctaw Residents – Election Day is Tuesday! 🗳️
This Tuesday, head to the polls and vote on the penny sales tax dedicated to infrastructure improvements—roads, water, and wastewater. This investment is crucial for maintaining and improving our city’s essential services.
Make your voice heard and help shape the future of Choctaw!
The proposed penny sales tax, as written on the ballot, must be legally dedicated to infrastructure—Water, Wastewater, and Roads. This ensures that every dollar raised will go directly to improving Choctaw’s essential infrastructure.
Please note: The City of Choctaw does not receive any property taxes. To ensure transparency, the Budget and Audit documents, along with Agendas and Minutes, as well as the Town Hall slide show can be viewed on the homepage at www.mychoctaw.org
