Old Fourth Ward Business Association (O4WBA) Information

The Old 4th Ward Business Association was founded March 2012 by a group of Founding Members who recognized the need for our business community to work together on common goals. The O4WBA is a 5O1(c)6 non-profit trade organization corporation, based on fostering a safe and sustainable business environment with close ties to the surrounding residential community & membership.
