Our Story
How does the TCIC relate to the City of Twinsburg?
The TCIC is a non-profit corporation formed for the purpose of encouraging investment in the City and for the purpose of fostering economic prosperity. It is governed by its Code of Regulations and has its own internal controls which include Conflict of Interest Policies, Administrative and Financial Controls. The TCIC is focusing its efforts to encourage economic activity and redevelopment of underutilized property in central Twinsburg. A CIC adds a valuable additional tool to an area’s economic development toolbox.

The TCIC functions as an independent non-profit entity organized in compliance with State law. It is controlled by a nine-member Board of Trustees. An Executive Committee (President, Vice-president, and Secretary/Treasurer) is elected annually by the Board. All Board members serve without compensation.
