The Old Town Advancement Commission (formerly known as Old Town Development Board until July 24, 2018) serves as an advisory board to City Council for the primary and secondary Old Town assessment districts. The Old Town Advancement Commission advises City Council regarding the improvement, maintenance, development, planning, and promotion of Old Town Winchester.
Commission meetings are typically held on the first Thursday of each month at 5:30 pm in the 4th Floor Exhibit Hall at Rouss City Hall, 15 North Cameron Street, Winchester, Virginia. All regular meetings are open to the public.
The OTAC, as a Main Street Board, also has four advisory committees: Design, Economic Vitality, Organization, and Promotions which meet as needed. If interested in participating on an OTAC Committee contact the Old Town Winchester office at (540) 535-3660.
