The Purpose and Objective of the Onancock Business and Civic Association (OBCA) is to increase the success of the Onancock community both collectively and as individuals in order to enhance the quality of life for the citizenry of Onancock.

Our agenda focuses on issues directly affecting the Onancock community. This entails the development of structures to improve business owner communications; to work on retail promotions; to affect local legislative issues as a group; to network education and training of business owners and their employees; to affect group savings in benefits and advertising; and to provide accountability in association finances.

To this end, the Onancock Business and Civic Association was formed on May 13, 1997
