We work with our businesses and the local communities to foster knowledge of Old Bar and surrounding coastal areas and to promote, support and assist businesses and the community by identifying community projects that will benefit both. Together we can do great things. Our new name reflects how businesses and the community support each other. Our Association can work with your business to help sustain it and we can help the community to become a vibrant and great place to live or visit. Come join us.
