  • Jim Philpot

    "Thank you for the opportunity to join the Chamber and love living in this great town. I came in as an outsider, born and raised in Sallisaw, but have been treated as if I lived here my whole life. My wife told me if I was planning on marrying her, I had to move to Greenwood. I thank her everyday for that! We've raised our kids here. I've been in business here for over 20 years and couldn't be happier! The people of this town let us in with open arms and our business has flourished. I'd recommend anyone that wants to start a business or just have a great place to live, make Greenwood your home-that's something you'll never regret!"
