Welcome
On November 16, 1929 the Raytown Chamber of Commerce was incorporated. Over the years the Chamber expanded its boundaries and updated its mission statements and purposes. A new building, totally funded by a capital campaign, was erected at its current site on the corner of 59th and Raytown Trafficway in 1988.
Our boundaries include the 32-square-mile area of the Raytown School District, and beyond. We sit in the heart of the Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area and serve as a crossroads to many destinations. We are, and will continue to be, a community excited about living, playing or working in this great place we call home. The Raytown Chamber is at the heart of many community activities helping to promote the city of Raytown.
2019 was a milestone year for the Raytown Chamber with an update to our logo and the addition of tourism to the Chamber’s name. The Building Foundation will remodel the building with an emphasis on the outside to reflect the addition of the Rock Island Trail through the front area of the property. A plaza area will allow for those utilizing the trail a place to rest, hydrate and get information about Raytown.
As the Chamber looks forward to its 100th anniversary, we will continue to be an advocate for the businesses in this community, and our focus is on a successful business future. In today’s world, working hard is not enough. You need to work smart, looking for the best opportunities to increase your visibility, and maximize your chances for success. That’s where the Chamber fits into your business plan – membership in the Chamber is one of the wisest investments you will ever make.
