Tipp City, OH – The Downtown Tipp City Partnership (DTCP) modified their Facade Improvement Program (FIP) grant application process last year. The FIP, which was established circa 2008, offers grants along with design assistance to businesses and property owners in Tipp City’s downtown district. The goal of the FIP is to improve the exterior appearance of individual buildings, signs, awnings, and the overall look of the district by leveraging private investment while making revitalization efforts affordable, creative, and community-based.
The FIP offers matching grants of up to fifty percent (50%) of an approved project cost for a maximum amount of $2500. The program typically honors up to three recipients each year. In the past, grants were offered on an on-going, as-needed basis until funds for the year were depleted. Now grant applications will be collected for review and selection twice per year, in April and August. Priority will be given to projects that are most compatible with the vision and goals of the DTCP and their impact on the district.
Applications for this grant cycle are due on April 21, 2023 The DTCP encourages potential grant applicants to meet with the DTCP’s Design Committee before beginning any improvement project. The Design Committee can provide valuable assistance by reviewing conceptual plans, discussing any permits that may be required, and conducting an on-site visit of the building. If interested in consulting with the Design Committee, please call the DTCP office at 937.667.0883 or email tasha@downtowntippcity.org.

Hello, and welcome to the new website for the Downtown Tipp City Partnership. We hope to highlight our amazing historic downtown, upcoming events and activities, and our amazing downtown shops, restaurants, and other service providers. We also hope to pass along updates on city projects that affect the downtown, keep visitors up to date on area attractions and offerings, and share our perspective on keeping Tipp City a great place to live and work.

As with any other “work in progress,” there are certainly things that we’ve forgotten or left out. It’s also possible that, in creating this new and updated version of our existing website, we got some of the information wrong. If you spot anything wrong, out of date, or missing, please email greg@gregenslen.com and these suggested changes will be forwarded to Bash Foo, our amazing website provider and hosting service. If you’re interested in signing up to get your own website, please reach out to Mike at BashFoo.com for more information.

If you’re interested in watching the trains passing through Tipp, we can recommend a nice empty lot on Sixth Street behind the S&G Painting Building. There used to be an old building here but it was torn down recently and now there is an unobstructed view for at least a hundred feet in each direction up and down the tracks. Some of these locations are private property, so please ask permission before visiting.

From the Wright State University Library on the old Dayton Electric Railway: “According to the collection, the city was serviced by four streetcar lines in 1918. They were The City Railway Company, The Dayton Street Railway Company, The Oakwood Railway Company, and The Peoples Railway Company. By 1930, this system had proliferated into six separate railway companies operating eleven streetcar lines, but no major bus line. Little cooperation existed between the different companies. For a city that was the size of Dayton, such a condition was unparalleled in the nation…”
