Check Out City Social Media Post for #OTOB Business Spotlight

While Project Connect construction continues in Old Town, so does the need to support the awesome businesses that call this heritage district home. For the past four months we have been featuring social media posts showcasing a different business as part of our Old Town Open for Business/Negocios Están Abiertos campaign on the City’s Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter) accounts. In case you missed them, here is a short slideshow with the ones we have featured so far. If you know of an Old Town business that we should highlight, or if you are an Old Town business that would like to be featured, send an email to PIO@cityofgoleta.org.

Also make sure to come shop, dine and do business in Old Town. Whether it’s supporting merchants you already frequent or discovering a new one, there truly is something for everyone in Old Town!

All day free parking is available at the Goleta Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue) and Orange Avenue Lot, while free 90-minute parking is offered at Community West Bank (corner of Pine Avenue and Hollister Avenue) and Carson Street (between Orange Avenue and Fairview Avenue).

The City launched its Old Town Open for Business (OTOB) campaign in May following the beginning of construction on Project Connect, the largest capital improvement project in the City’s history that will take several years to compete. The campaign includes OTOB light post banners, A-Frame signs, and a video of Old Town businesses ready to serve the community that you can watch here in English and here in Spanish.

The City is always looking for ways to support our Old Town businesses during construction. This past summer the City partnered with the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce to put on a Meet Me in Old Town block party series and collaborated with the Greater Santa Barbara Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to put on a Mexican Independence Day Festival at the Goleta Community Center. Stay tuned for a community event in November to celebrate the installation of Holiday Lights in Old Town courtesy of a donation from the Greater Goleta Santa Barbara Lions Club.
