The Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville (DBAC) is an association created, managed, and funded by a group of Downtown’s merchants, restaurants, and other interested businesses. The DBAC is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting commerce Downtown. Our goal is to raise recognition to the wide variety the area has to offer. Overall, we aim to market and support the Mall by shaping the Downtown Mall into one cohesive network.

Office space is donated by the Charlottesville Parking Center, Inc. located at 108 5th St. NE. It is managed by two co-chairs and run by a Board of Directors. The Board is comprised of nineteen men and women who represent Downtown businesses. DBAC is fully staffed by volunteers, including three UVA interns.
