Building Business at the Lake of the Ozarks - Eldon Area Chamber of Commerce

The business climate at the Lake of the Ozarks is ever changing and always in a state of positive growth. The Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Development Council is here to share information and resources to help businesses thrive here at the Lake. Back in March, we began a series of blogs about local organizations that promote business growth at Lake of the Ozarks. This week, we're featuring the Eldon Area Chamber of Commerce. Eldon is known as the Gateway to the Lake, driving business and evolving the area we all love!

About The City of Eldon


Eldon is a small town with strong family values, great community spirit and an award winning school district. Nestled just 7 miles outside of the Lake of the Ozarks, Eldon sits right on the edge of the 4-lane Highway 54, which recently underwent a $150 million MODOT expressway expansion. This makes Eldon the gateway for fast travel to the rest of southern Missouri. Plus, it's less than a 3 hour drive from St. Louis, Kansas City, or Springfield. The community boasts 3 city parks, the Miller County fairgrounds, the Eldon Golf Club and more. Life in the city of Eldon offers "the best of both worlds."

Eldon Chamber of Commerce


At 185 members, the Chamber of Commerce for the city of Eldon keeps local businesses thriving, which helps with the overall economic growth at Lake of the Ozarks. The chamber is truly an informational center, maintaining factual data, folders and maps about the varying aspects of the community, and by answering inquiries of all types. We unite business, industry and professional individuals to improve Eldon's economy and build a better community.

Events in Eldon

Eldon is about to celebrate their 30th Annual Turkey Festival on September 26th at the Miller County Fairgrounds. Local businesses have the great opportunity to set up a booth during the event and/or take place in the parade. This is the perfect way for an organization new to the area to mingle with the community and help the rest of the locals drive economic growth in the Lake area!  Additionally, this is the perfect opportunity to get your business known, as there are over 13,000 people who attend this festival every year.
