SIEDC's Community Development Committee is working to develop a comprehensive list of project ideas for the city of Tiffin, Ohio. Community Development projects are publicly-owned or of significant benefit to the public in one of 12 areas spelled out in the City's current plan, called the Comprehensive Plan Update (1994). You can learn more about, view and download the different strategic plans for development here at Seneca Success. The list below does not claim to be exhaustive, and additional ideas are continually being sought from all stakeholders and the public at large. If you would like to submit an idea not listed below that relates to one of the 12 key community development areas, please email your idea to SIEDC's Katie Lang at lang@senecacounty.org or call her at 419.447.3831 (main SIEDC number). Here is a list of the first 200 ideas gathered to date. It's important to note that a listing of a project idea here does not imply endorsement of that idea in any way by either SIEDC or the City of Tiffin. It is simply the attempt to gather all of the ideas first. Later in the fall, the public will also be invited to attend public forums in each area (ward) of the city that will take place later in the fall to learn about the process, community development funds, as well as submit ideas and provide feedback. Here is the list sorted by Community Development Category (e.g., 1- Land Use):
