IFFIN, OHIO – February 19, 2016 – New wayfinding signage is being installed in downtown Tiffin today. The signs are part of a two-phase project to help visitors and residents more easily find their way to attractions and parking in downtown Tiffin.
The new wayfinding signs finish phase one of the project, which also includes the kiosk on Courthouse Square listing downtown attractions. A second phase of the project is scheduled later this year and includes kiosks on the Tiffin and Heidelberg University campuses as well as signage for all city parking lots downtown. The total investment for both phases is around $100,000.
Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz is pleased to see the signage go up. “I appreciate the work of SIEDC and the Main Street committees in making this happen. It continues our strategic effort to make downtown Tiffin a destination place and easy to navigate for visitors and residents alike.” The initiative is one targeted in the Downtown Strategic Plan adopted by the City in 2010, and one the Main Street Design Committee has been working on this effort for more than a year.
The Seneca County Commissioners have also approved parking lot signage to match the city signs and are in the process of implementing signage in four lots. After both phases are completed, 39 obsolete signs will be removed from downtown streets.
Downtown Development Committee Chair Jessica Williams was also excited to see the wayfinding happen: “We continue to work to implement the Downtown Strategic Plan, and this is a goal for 2016. We also appreciate the many volunteers who helped make this happen.”

Each set includes five signs directing drivers and pedestrians to the following attractions: Heidelberg University, Tiffin University, Civil War Museum, Tiffin Art Guild, Library, Parking, Glass Museum, Frost-Kalnow Stadium, Ritz Theater, Courthouse Square, Hospital, Hedges-Boyer Park, Fort Ball District and Post Office.
