Business & Economy

Since the 1940’s the Mt. Shasta Chamber of Commerce has been the voice of business for the Mt. Shasta area. Through the Chamber, local professionals and businesses work together to identify, define and find solutions for community issues.

The core industry and economic generator in Mt. Shasta is tourism. Tourism affects every business in Mt. Shasta, directly and indirectly.

The Chamber’s Visitors Bureau is the leading marketing organization responsible for generating tourism in order to enhance the vitality of our economy. Our Visitor’s Pavilion has almost 26,000 visitors per year requesting information, with another 68,000 visitors online.

Mt. Shasta is a city of great economic, social, recreational and spiritual diversity where residents find both creative and traditional means to achieve success. The community was built on the strong pioneering spirit of folks who came for the natural beauty and the opportunity to grow success in a sparsely populated area. Much remains the same today. Newcomers join beside natives who can trace their family back several generations in spinning the fabric of Mt. Shasta.

Water has played an important role in Mt. Shasta’s economy from the days of the early 1900’s when tourists came to drink the soda water at a number of resorts. Much of the tourism industry is built on water, in one form or another. Fishing, river rafting, boating at Lake Siskiyou and camping around alpine lakes attract many visitors every year. Snow supports booming business at the Mt. Shasta Board and Ski Park and the mountaineering industry. The quality of drinking water draws business interests from companies like CCDA Waters, LLC, which has a water bottling plant in Mt. Shasta. With the development of Roseburg Park, water may again attract business as developers court light industry. In 2006 Mt. Shasta received an award for “Best Tasting Water in California.”

Large sources of employment in the area are complimented by a wealth of small businesses that occupy downtown shops, out-of-the-way warehouses and tucked away offices. Mail-order businesses, internet-based companies and Mt. Shasta’s extensive spiritual community stimulate the local economy and create diversity.

The chamber strives to support that economic diversity as the city grows and new businesses come to the area. Through diversity we are building a strong foundation for our future where a high quality of life and conservation of this beautiful area are cornerstones of the community.
