The Oil Region Alliance of Business Industry & Tourism is the lead economic development agency and the official tourist promotion agency serving the Oil Heritage Region, as well as the administrator for the Oil Region National Heritage Area. These multiple designations enable the Alliance to tap multiple public and private resources to achieve its mission.

The Mission of the Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry & Tourism is to increase the prosperity and population of the Oil Region by enticing people to live, work, learn and play in “the valley that changed the world” through the preservation, promotion, development and support of historical, educational, natural, recreational, residential, commercial and industrial destinations.

The Alliance was formed in 2005 by the consolidation of the Venango Economic Development Corporation; Oil Heritage Region, Inc.; Oil Heritage Region Tourist Promotion Agency; and Oil City Community Development Corporation.
