Downtown Tiffin Earns National Main Street Accreditation for 2025

TIFFIN, OHIO – December 22, 2025 – Downtown Tiffin has been granted National Main Street Accreditation for 2025 by the Ohio Main Street Program. The honor is presented through Heritage Ohio, the state’s coordinating body for Main Street America. Downtown Tiffin joined the Ohio Main Street Program back in 2015.

In a comprehensive full-day evaluation, Downtown Tiffin—operated as a division of the Seneca County Collaborative—showed strong proof of an impactful program delivering real results in downtown revitalization. To earn Accredited status, communities are required to meet strict national criteria, such as promoting community-led revitalization, building robust public-private collaborations, encouraging economic growth for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and preserving historic sites, spaces, and cultural resources.
