Downtown Tiffin has once again been recognized by Heritage Ohio as a National Main Street Community. This is the second year in a row that Tiffin has received this honor. The Ohio Main Street Program, administered by Heritage Ohio, works with communities across the state to revitalize their historic or traditional commercial areas. Based in historic preservation, it focuses on four points: organization, design, promotions, and economic vitality. Each point is an integral part in the successful revitalization of a downtown area. The Ohio Main Street program is a partner of Main Street America. In 2016 and 2017, Downtown Tiffin received accreditation for its Main Street program from both organizations. From Heritage Ohio: Columbus OH – Heritage Ohio is proud to announce the 2017 certification of Downtown Tiffin as a National Main Street Community. Tiffin became a member of the Main Street program in 2016, and since continues to revitalize the historic downtown district. After a half day evaluation process, the board of Downtown Tiffin exhibited evidence of a healthy program working toward measurable outcomes in downtown revitalization. Downtown Tiffin is being recognized as proficient in the ten criteria as set by the National Main Street Center.  This designation is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the Downtown Tiffin Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers. Heritage Ohio helps people to: save the places that matter, build community, and live better. As Ohio’s official historic preservation and Main Street Organization, Heritage Ohio’s mission is to foster economic development and sustainability through preservation of historic buildings, revitalization of downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts, and promotion of cultural tourism.   Since 1998, Heritage Ohio has contracted with the National Trust for Historic Preservation as Ohio’s state coordinating agency for the Main Street Program™.
