Many people work hard to make the  Downtown Tipp City Partnership a great success. The Partnership Board of Directors consists of nine seats, with representatives from City Council, City Government, Tipp Monroe Community Services, the Tipp Chamber, the Tipp Library, local business owners and residents. We bring diverse groups and individuals together and make things happen in the downtown.
