As the Times is an important source of information for all of us in Alexandria and in Old Town, we are very excited to hear from her how she plans to use this change to maintain the quality and viability of the paper.

Join the Old Town Civic Association or Renew your membership for 2024-2025
Whether you are new to Alexandria, Virginia or have been in the community for years, we invite you to join us. The OTCA’s mission since our founding in 1951 has been to preserve the historic and residential character of Old Town, something we can only accomplish with the informed and active participation and support of resident members. OTCA is governed by Officers and a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The board and committees stay abreast of City issues that directly and indirectly affect Old Town and its neighbors, and communicate through our website, monthly newsletter, and emails to keep members informed of up-coming events. Board members represent Old Town residents' interests before City Council, the Planning Commission, the Board of Architectural Review, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and other policy-making bodies. OTCA representatives also sit on City commissions, committees, and boards. To contact us, see: Officers & Board
