We see downtown Ottawa, Ohio as a thriving hub of activity that connects to the Blanchard River, provides local residents and visitors with entertainment and recreation opportunities, and attracts real estate and small business investment.

Go Ottawa considers the revitalization of Downtown Ottawa, Ohio a priority while maintaining focus on the city-wide implementation of the Go Ottawa Strategic Plan. We are now in a position of strength to plan for the future with focused investments in place, people, and how we tell our story. We believe our downtown can be a place where we come together as a community to celebrate our hospitality and culture. Our tight-knit river town of four-square-miles can be even more walkable, bikeable, and floatable.
