As Paizo releases more information about Otari, we can consolidate it here in this thread.
Paizo blogs have an "Otari" tag when they include NPCs or other Otari information

The Adventure "Troubles In Otari" has background information about Tami Tanderveil and the Otari Fishery; Olaria Gallentine of Gallentine Galleries; and Vandy Banderdash at the Dawnflower Library. Each of them is the "quest giver" for one of the three mini adventures.

The Adventure Path "Abomination Vaults" is set in the ruins of Gauntlight, an abandoned lighthouse just outside the town of Otari.

More details of the background and history of the original Otari settlement and the establishment of the lumber consortium.
Map locations of Menhemes Manor, Inkleholtz Manor, Chertel Manor.
Stat blocks for 20 businesses; including a lodge for primal spellcasters, a workshop for crafting, other re-training venues that will make it easier for local adventurers to improve their skills.
Stat blocks for NPC attitudes and what benefits the location/NPC might offer to the heroes. Wares and services available at that location. Earned Income possibilities at each location.
The free Abomination Vaults Player's Guide has substantially the same information about the town as the Beginner Box. The second adventure, Hands of the Devil, includes some information about other NPCs in the town as well (such as Mayor Menhemes's family and Carman Rajani).
Your best source, however, is the gazetteer in Ruins of Gauntlight. We made sure to seed just about everyone the heroes might need to know in there.
