Downtown Tiffin Invites Community Feedback Through Survey

September 2, 2025

TIFFIN, OHIO – September 2, 2025 – Downtown Tiffin, in partnership with Heritage Ohio, the statewide Main Street coordinating program, is conducting a short survey to gather feedback from the community. The goal is to ensure that the voices of those who live, work, and invest in Tiffin are heard as the organization looks to the future.

The survey is expected to take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and responses will help identify community priorities and guide the future direction of Downtown Tiffin. To protect participants’ privacy, Heritage Ohio is collecting responses on behalf of Downtown Tiffin. Results will be reviewed by the Downtown Tiffin Board of Trustees and staff during a strategic planning session later this month.

“This is an important opportunity for the community to share its perspective,” said Donna Gross, Downtown Tiffin Main Street Manager. “Whether you are a resident, business owner, employee, or investor, your feedback will help shape the vision for our downtown.”

The survey will remain open until Friday, September 12. Community members are encouraged to participate by visiting: tinyurl.com/DowntownTiffinSurvey.

About Downtown Tiffin 

The revitalization of Downtown Tiffin began in 2011 with the formation of Tiffin Tomorrow, a grassroots initiative led by community members dedicated to promoting economic development and ensuring the long-term prosperity of the downtown district. In 2014, the City of Tiffin partnered with the Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) to serve as the official downtown organization. Tiffin Tomorrow was incorporated into SIEDC, which later evolved into the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership (TSEP), and now operates under the Seneca County Collaborative as the Downtown Development Board—the governing body for downtown revitalization efforts. Since 2015, Downtown Tiffin has proudly participated in Heritage Ohio’s Main Street Program, further strengthening its commitment to historic preservation, economic vitality, and community engagement.
