The Route 250 Diner is about more than just what’s happening this week in Circleville—it’s about setting the stage for how industries and communities can come together to shape America’s future. At the heart of this proof of concept is a message: manufacturers, creators and communities all play essential roles in writing the next chapter of America’s story. This isn’t just a celebration—it’s a model, showing how civic pride, community service, simple acts of kindness, and the power of industry can renew belief in the American Dream. Thursday's grand opening made that vision clear. Business, non-profit and community leaders—and some of Circleville’s most dedicated volunteers—joined us to officially open the Route 250 Diner. Having the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission (America250) with us, represented by Interim Executive Director Jennifer Condon, and the team from Stand Together Trust and the Bill of Rights Institute underscores how significant this initiative is in the lead-up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. And with Ryan Augsburger, president of The Ohio Manufacturers' Association, standing alongside us, it was a powerful reminder that Ohio’s manufacturing community will be leading the way as well. As we prepare for #America250, the lessons we gather here will guide us to help the America 250 movement and grow our impact—showing what’s possible when communities, businesses and individuals come together with a shared purpose.

This week, the Ohio Manufacturers Association joined Schaeffler's leadership team for a plant tour with Senator Al Landis. For decades, Schaeffler has been a leader in Ohio, driving innovation in automotive supply and workforce solutions, especially in EV technology. We're excited about their future growth, including plans for a new plant in Dover, Ohio, which will expand their influence even further. It was inspiring to see their dedication to both cutting-edge innovation and developing the next generation of talent!

Momentum is building for #America250! We’re thrilled to launch the #Route250 Diner proof of concept at the #CirclevillePumpkinShow, made possible by a grant from Stand Together Trust. This initiative is about more than fun—it’s about inspiring civic pride, service and connecting communities through stories of creators making an impact. Special thanks to America250 for joining us at launch and to our incredible partners: National Restaurant Association, Bill of Rights Institute, Snap-on, The J.M. Smucker Co., Johnson & Johnson, The Ohio Manufacturers' Association, Ohio Restaurant & Hospitality Alliance, Ohio History Connection (America 250-Ohio), Seaman Corporation, Centrus Energy Corp. and more. We couldn’t do this without the support from the amazing teams at ADVOC8 and LSG. Together, we’re taking the lead to demonstrate how industries can play a vital role in shaping America’s future—and laying the foundation for even bigger things as we approach 2026.
