About the Seneca County Collaborative
The Seneca County Collaborative is a unified organization launching January 1, 2026, to serve as the central resource for business support, economic development, tourism promotion, and community revitalization in Seneca County, Ohio.
Following a joint decision by the executive boards of the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership and the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce in February 2025, this new structure was created to better serve the region’s businesses, communities, and residents. The announcement marked a commitment to aligning services and building a stronger, more strategic approach to advancing opportunity and prosperity in Seneca County.
Bringing together decades of experience and a shared vision for the future, the Collaborative creates a single, coordinated team that helps businesses grow, connects people to resources, and strengthens the appeal of the region as a place to live, work, and visit.
