Promoting Design and Planning Excellence

Story

The Toledo Design Center (TDC) is a public advocate that promotes design and planning excellence. This "mission" is accomplished by exploring, assisting, and supporting opportunities for urban and community growth and revitalization through preservation, renovation, and adaptive reuse of existing structures and developments and by adding compatible new structures and developments.

Appropriate streetscaping, landscaping, lighting, graphics, and signage also helps to enhance open and public spaces. This exploration, assistance, and support leads to creating a beautiful and livable community that helps to assure a high quality of life and sustainable positive growth.

Education is one of the primary components of the TDC. Working together with educational institutions -- such as The University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, or the Toledo Public School -- and also consulting with government agencies, architects, planners, developers, contractors, and others; the TDC hopes to instill an awareness of the importance of design and planning excellence throughout the community.
