The Old Town North Community Partnership is an organization comprised of residents, small, local businesses and employees working to create a vital, vibrant community within Old Town North. We provide information to the community about events affecting the neighborhood through our website, e-newsletter and social media. In past years we have worked with the City of Alexandria on improvements to Montgomery Park and sponsored the Annual Taste of Old Town North and Dogtoberfest A Celebration of all things Dog…And Cat!.
Our vision of Old Town North is of an attractive, mixed use neighborhood with Montgomery Park as a community hub, where residents can walk to a variety of local businesses, picnic in the Gazebo, play with their children in the playground and their dogs in the dog park. We support open space that serves the community, pedestrian access and well managed traffic and parking. We work to provide recreational and cultural activities for the community both in Old Town North and the metropolitan area.
Our Purpose
- Improve Old Town North’s vital qualities and attractiveness to make it a better place to live and to operate a business
- Strengthen Old Town North’s linkage with the Old and Historic Alexandria District, the waterfront, and the George Washington Memorial Parkway
- Provide leadership for the accomplishment of community improvement projects and implementation of urban design goals
- Deliver the organizational means for expressing community needs and desires to City government decision-makers
- Cooperate with other organizations and groups throughout Alexandria who are also seeking community-wide improvements
