About Us
TRDA is ready to move into the future and will continue to push Tahlequah growth!
TRDA strives to support all businesses in the area. There has never been a truer statement in economic development than “A rising tide lifts all boats”. We know that if we can lift the tide, local businesses will thrive and grow together.
Three areas to focus on to continue growing our community
The TRDA Board of Trustees updates the strategic plan every 2 years to make sure they are achieving prior objectives and setting new ones to keep Tahlequah moving forward. The current strategic plan has three items that are at its core: Entrepreneur and Small Business Support, Business Recruitment and Expansion, and Business Retention and Support.
TRDA completes this mission by strong collaborative partnerships including HAMMRC, Cherokee Nation Innovation Hub, Northeastern State University, Indian Capital Technology Center, and Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce, among many others.
These partnerships help TRDA meet goals and objectives within its strategic plan and provide the needed resources for all businesses in Tahlequah and Cherokee County. A current copy of the Strategic Plan can be found at the following link
