For two decades the TDC has impacted community development within Toledo and its surrounding communities. As a non-profit organization, our volunteer-supported team is made up of full-time staff and many active volunteers who are dedicated to improving the function and aesthetic of the Toledo region. Our experience and passion stems from decades of combined experience as architects, city planners, urban developers, community and educational leaders, and devoted Toledo residents.

Through education and advocacy, we strengthen and uphold Toledo’s design standards. We promote high-level aesthetic cohesion and recommend location guidelines for new development. We engage the community in all decision-making and help teach the value and benefits of urban planning and thoughtful design. Prioritizing urban planning and design impacts quality of life: making Toledo a more desirable place to live, work, and play.
