The newest episode of the Downtown Lowdown podcast, presented by the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, gives listeners an inside look at the organization helping shape the heart of Tipp City. Hosted by Tasha Weaver and Greg Enslen, this episode focuses on the mission, leadership, and future vision of the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, better known as DTCP. The conversation highlights how the nonprofit organization works year-round to preserve, promote, and enhance the historic downtown district while creating a welcoming experience for residents, visitors, and local businesses alike.

The organization is powered by community-minded volunteers who are passionate about preserving the character and charm of Tipp City’s historic district. DTCP operates through five active committees, Operations, Promotion, Design, Economic Development, and Merchants, each focused on improving different aspects of the downtown experience. The episode also shines a light on the board members and representatives who help guide the organization’s efforts, including Board President Mark Davison, Vice President Kayla Buehrer, Treasurer Andrea Hoover, Secretary Corey Vaughn, Past President Lisa Santucci, and many other community leaders working together to support Tipp City’s future. The Board of Directors meets every other month on the second Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Tipp Center, and community members are always welcome to attend.

Throughout the episode, Tasha and Greg discuss the exciting direction DTCP is heading in for 2026 and beyond. In addition to continuing the beloved events and programs the community already enjoys, the organization is beginning to explore new building restoration efforts, expanded community gathering spaces, and additional ways to elevate the downtown experience. One of the most exciting goals discussed is continuing to transform Tipp City into a magical Christmas destination filled with warmth, tradition, and small-town charm during the holiday season. The episode serves as a reminder that DTCP’s impact extends far beyond Main Street, helping strengthen the entire community through volunteerism, collaboration, and civic pride. As the organization’s mission states, DTCP remains “Dedicated to enhancing, preserving, and promoting Tipp City by honoring our past and building our future.”
