Choose Stone County

06/12/2026

Thank you Rotary Club of Table Rock Lake for inviting our Economic Development Director Jeremy Goggans to provide an update on the economic development work happening across Stone County.

Tracy, the General Manager of our local Walmart, shares why economic development matters from the perspective of a major local employer.

For businesses like Walmart, growth in Stone County means a stronger workforce, a healthier local economy and more opportunities for the people who live and work here.

Economic development happens when people come to the table, share ideas and work toward common goals. That is where the Chamber plays an important role by bringing businesses, community leaders and partners together to help move Stone County forward.

“Economic development matters to your store.”
Because when our community grows stronger, our businesses do too.

Economic development is built through relationships, trust, and people working together toward the same goal.

Todd with Great River Engineering shares why being connected through Choose Stone County and the Table Rock Lake Chamber matters, not just for one business, but for the long-term growth and strength of Stone County.

This is the work of economic development: bringing business leaders, community partners, and local decision-makers together to support smart growth, create opportunity, and help Stone County move forward.
