Alexandria operates as an independent city providing services to residents, businesses, and visitors within its boundaries. The city uses a council-manager form of government in which the City Council appoints a manager to oversee operations. Alexandria’s policies include a focus on racial and social equity to promote fair outcomes in the community. The city also maintains museums and historic sites that highlight local social and cultural history, including facilities dedicated to African American heritage such as the Alexandria Black History Museum. Additionally, the Alexandria Archaeological Commission collaborates with agencies and residents for research and preservation efforts related to archaeology. More details about these initiatives can be found on the official website.
