On July 4, 2026, communities across the nation will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation. Planning for celebrations and commemorations is underway NOW, at the federal, statewide, and local levels. On November 10, 2021, the Chester County Commissioners signed a resolution to create the Chester County America250 PA Commission (CC250). In March, the West Pikeland Township Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2024-10 to support the Pennsylvania Commission for America250.
CC250's overarching goal is to promote interactive, inclusive, compelling experiences to commemorate and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary throughout 2026. CC250 initiatives shall help Chester County communities and visitors encounter the many ways in which Chester County participated in and influenced our nation's past and elevate our understanding of our continuing journey to build a more perfect union.
West Pikeland Township is seeking volunteers to participate in our Municipal 250th Committee Task Force to help celebrate the nation’s 250th. Participants will also be able to engage in training held by Chester County 250. Training events will be held on the fourth Friday of each month beginning on June 7, 2024 via Zoom, and West Pikeland Township would like to have Task Force members attend these sessions.
If you are interested in representing our township in the Chester County 250 planning, contact Township Manager Joe Romano at manager@westpikeland.com.
