The Seminole Chamber of Commerce monthly Forum, to be held Thursday, March 11, 2021, will feature presentations on the proposed ¼ cent sales tax to support the Seminole County Jail. The tax will be voted on during an April 6, 2021 county-wide election.

Forum will return to a limited in-person event for March. Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, in-person attendance will be limited to 30 people. Reservations must be made in advance through the Chamber office at 405-382-3640.

The program will also be broadcast through a Zoom webinar which can be accessed at noon that day. A Zoom “link” connection for the Forum program will be emailed to Chamber members this week. Others interested in receiving the link may call the Chamber at 405-382-3640. The program will also be recorded and posted on the Chamber’s Facebook page for future viewing.

Information about the jail’s needs will be presented by Seminole County Undersheriff Matt Haley and Seminole County Clerk First Deputy Tahasha Wilcox. Others on the panel will be Seminole City Manager Steve Saxon and Wewoka City Manager Mark Mosely who will present the cities’ perspectives on the tax.

Following the presentation, the panel will accept questions from the audience and Zoom webinar participants. Thursday’s program will be moderated by Chamber Forum Committee co-chair Dr. Jim Utterback.
