Welcome to 2026:
As we turn the page to 2026, the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome a new year filled with opportunity, growth, and connection. A new year is the perfect time to reflect on our progress and look ahead to what we can accomplish together as a business community.
Building on a Strong Foundation
2025 was a year of momentum for the Chamber. With fresh leadership, an enthusiastic board, and new junior board members eager to serve, we strengthened partnerships, expanded our visibility, and continued to champion the businesses that make Oldham County thrive. From regional initiatives to a website upgrade and the launch of this blog, our focus has remained on connection, support, and growth.
What to Expect in 2026
Our focus this year is simple: support local business, strengthen relationships, and promote Oldham County. In 2026, you can expect more business storytelling, community events, member spotlights, resources, and continued encouragement to shop and invest locally. This blog will serve as a hub for Chamber news, events, and reminders of why supporting local matters year-round.
Route 66 Centennial: A Historic Year
2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Route 66, and Oldham County is proud to be part of this once-in-a-generation milestone. The Chamber looks forward to supporting Route 66 related initiatives, tourism promotion, and opportunities for local businesses to benefit from increased visibility. As travelers explore the Mother Road, Oldham County remains an important stop along the journey, rich in history, community, and local business pride.
Memberships & Renewals for 2026
With the new year comes the launch of our 2026 Chamber membership and renewal season. Next week, we’ll send out membership forms, and we invite current and potential members to take a look.
