Welcome to Ottawa Ohio
Tucked into the heart of Putnam County, Ottawa Ohio welcomes you to its quiet and friendly community. In the downtown area, attractive brick buildings, constructed by ancestors long ago, still bustle with the activity of family-owned businesses and professional offices.
A proud tradition is apparent in the well-kept homes of the entire community. Graceful trees hover over the well-maintained streets criss-crossing through Ottawa. These streets will lead you to beautiful parks, new and historic homes, highly academic schools, shopping areas, entertainment, and dining. Shoppers will find Ottawa to be a provider of goods, ranging from the latest in fashion and unusual art, to dry goods and exquisite jewelry.
Ottawa is a wonderful place to live and work. You will find that it is growing steadily with new housing, quality education at all levels, and new business, yet still retains the warmth and friendliness of a small town.
The Ottawa Ohio Chamber of Commerce
The Ottawa Ohio Chamber of Commerce was established before 1950 by a small number of progressive business leaders. It has steadily grown now to 278 members. The Chamber's goal is to provide resources, referrals and promotional opportunities to its
membership.
The Ottawa Ohio Chamber of Commerce membership is a diverse mix of businesses, organizations, services, and industries. The Chamber has been effective in providing a growing list of member services. Some of these services include networking opportunities, economic development, information resources, events promotion, participation in social activities, and member business referrals. In addition, the Chamber offers value added benefits such as a group health plan, discounted long distance phone plans, and group rating for worker’s compensation.
The Ottawa Ohio Chamber of Commerce offers the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce Gift Certificate program. The gift certificate program is through CertifiChecks, Inc. and will help area merchants attract and keep local dollars. The certificates can be purchased locally or out of the area, but must be spent within Chamber membership. In this way we can promote and support our area, our businesses, and the Chamber.
The Ottawa Ohio Chamber of Commerce strives to make every effort to be of service to business organizations already here and to improve the health, culture and welfare of our chamber community. The Chamber works to be a leading force in promoting growth, prosperity and quality of life in our area, working and keeping in contact with all facets of the community. The Ottawa Ohio Area Chamber of Commerce is here to serve you!
