1. Grant dollars to clean up local properties (norwalkreflector.com) — Tiffin is receiving $150,000 in state brownfield funds to demolish and clean up a former industrial site on Water Street, paving the way for a new city water treatment facility. The project will remove an underground tank, manage lead-impacted soil, and stabilize the property, while nearby counties also gain funding to turn long-abandoned factories, schools, and gas stations into housing, greenspace, and new jobs. 
2. Seneca East FFA competes in Ohio State Envirothon (advertiser-tribune.com) — Tiffin-area readers can cheer on Seneca East FFA, whose Envirothon team advanced to the Ohio State competition and brought home the Reeves Rookies Award plus second place in soils. Sponsored by the Seneca Conservation District, these students spent days tackling real-world environmental challenges and exploring future careers in natural resources.
3. Governor's state appointments for June 5, 2026 (metromonthly.net) — Tiffin resident Elaine E. Daugherty has been appointed to the Terra State Community College Board of Trustees, giving Seneca County a direct voice in the Fremont-based college’s leadership.

4. Amy Acton's tax plan: $1,778 cut for Ohio families of 4 — TiffinOhio.net (tiffinohio.net) — If you’re a Tiffin couple with two kids making about $60,000, Amy Acton’s proposed tax plan could mean roughly $1,778 back in your pocket each year. The piece compares her credits-focused approach with Vivek Ramaswamy’s income‑tax phaseout, outlining how each could affect working- and middle‑income Ohio families.
