If you are not home when they come by, don't worry; they will leave information on your front door with instructions on how to get in touch with them.

Just returned from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) in Las Vegas, where I had the privilege of representing the City of Tiffin alongside Mayor Tim Kasparek - Tiffin, Iowa and City Administrator Doug Boldt.

We had productive conversations with a wide range of food, hotel, and service-oriented businesses — all with the goal of bringing more options and amenities to our growing community. Tiffin’s rapid growth and strategic location make it an attractive place for investment, and it was clear that the interest is real.

Whether it’s new dining spots, lodging options, or everyday services, we’re working to attract the kinds of businesses that will meet the needs of our residents and support a vibrant, thriving local economy.

Big things are happening in Tiffin — and we’re building for what’s next.
