On behalf of the McPherson Chamber of Commerce and its members, we sincerely want to thank you for visiting our website. Feel free to browse this site, and learn more about our wonderful community.

Anyone who has ever uttered the old cliche, "It was a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there," certainly never said it about this city. In truth, while McPherson is a great place to visit, it's an even better place to live.

McPherson's electric rates are the lowest in Kansas, which is great for homeowners, and also responsible, in large part, for the booming industrial base. The McPherson business landscape is an amazing blend of a vibrant downtown core, agriculture, oil, plastics, home building components, insurance and pharmaceuticals; some home-grown and some Fortune 500 companies. Employment opportunies are plentiful and well diversified.

Numerous educational, recreational, spiritual and cultural opportunities, state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, a high quality and progressive school system with two four-year colleges, and low crime rate only add to the incredible quality of life current residents already enjoy. Beautiful homes on tree-lined streets, well groomed parks and warm, friendly people might sound like something from a postcard. To McPhersonites, it's the life we've come to know.

So whether you're looking for a great place to visit, a great place to locate a business, a great place to live and work, or all of the above, look no further. McPherson is that place. Thanks again for your time and interest. We'll look forward to hearing from you.

Les Mason,
2007-2008 Chamber President
Owner, The Old Muffin Factory
