Construction of the new Toyota engineering campus officially began last earlier this week with a groundbreaking ceremony held at the site of the facility’s future location in Georgetown. The goal with the development of this new facility is to expand the efficiency and overallocation quality of the brand by having the entire production engineering team all working together at the same location. This large goal will be made possible through the construction of this 250,000 sq. ft. facility that will be the new home for about 700 Toyota team members.
“We are excited to expand the presence that Toyota started over 25 years ago,” said Production Engineering Senior Vice President, Tadahisa Isono. “From this facility, we will not only support our diverse workforce and network of manufacturing operations throughout North America, we will also equip our team to bring the future of manufacturing to the present.”
During the ceremony, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz was on hand to offer his gratitude to the community for its years of support and to present three local organizations with new Toyota vehicles. These three organizations include SOAR (Shaping Our Appalachian Region), Scott United, an arm of the Georgetown-Scott County Chamber of Commerce, and the Salato Wildlife Education Center. Additionally, in order to commemorate the event further, a 2015 TDR Pro Series Tundra was used to make the first official dig at the new construction site.

Toyota is ready and gearing up for its next big move. The company just released a sneak peek video for their soon to be built North American Headquarters.

To learn more, give the video a watch for yourself.
In one of our previous blogs, we shared with you how Toyota had helped to commission three impressive murals that were created to help commemorate the Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015 (LA2015). Nor, the brand has announced that it is extending its support of the 2015 games even further with a $110,200 that was presented during a Torch Ceremony that honored the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) Final Leg for the World Games. The ceremony took place at the Westfield Valencia Town Center and was attended by Valencia Mayor Marsha McLean, Toyota Motor Sales Los Angeles Region General Manager Alec Hagey and LETR Final Leg Team Leader Chief Jeff Spaulding.
The LETR Final Leg Team is on a mission to travel to 127 cities, towns and communities across 4,648 miles in order to spread the word about the 2015 games. The support that Toyota has provided to the LETR and the creation of the murals are just two of the ways that Toyota has provided support to LA2015. Toyota dealerships throughout the U.S. have been participating in fundraising efforts and the brand provided several vehicles to the Special Olympics Unified Relay Across America which took place from May 26- July 10 to help spread the word about the 2015 Games.
“We’re thankful to Toyota for their support of Special Olympics and our athletes,” said Jenise Steverding, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships for Special Olympics World Games. “They’ve been a tremendous partner and we appreciate their leadership and commitment to helping develop our athletes and create communities of inclusion for all citizens.”
At the beginning of June, Toyota announced that it was launching a new campaign that would be centered around the 2015 Toyota Camry and the 2015 Toyota Corolla. This new campaign was designed in order to make customers feel as though the traveling possibilities are endless when you get behind the wheel of one of these two amazing all-new models. The theme of this campaign ties directly into the overall Toyota theme of “Let’s Go Places” which is all about encouraging Toyota customers to get back on the road and discover new adventures.
Recently, the brand has released two new advertisements for the campaign that each feature one of these impressive new models. Going along with the theme of this new campaign, these new advertisements highlight the importance of taking risks and not being afraid to venture off in new directions.
You can see the latest Toyota advertisements below and head over to Fiore Toyota to see both models in person if you live near Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, State College and Indiana, PA.

A 2015 Toyota Prius c Research & Review page will be released by Fiore Toyota to help all of our customers from Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, State College and Indiana, PA learn more about this impressive all-new model. This page will be available under our “Model Lineup” tab and will offer important vehicle details on this model. It will help interested customers learn more about it before they take a trip into our dealership for a test drive. Some of the information will include trim levels, EPA estimates, safety features, engine and transmission, standard features of each trim and much more.
Starting now, anyone in the Los Angeles community will feel the spirit of the Special Olympics for years to come. As an effort in Toyota’s “Share the Journey” campaign for the 2015 Special Olympics, three murals were created to commemorate the athletes. Toyota executives, city leaders, artists, and Special Olympics fans all came together at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum mural to celebrate the athlete’s accomplishments.
The artwork is intended and designed to last the test of time, taking its inspiration from the Olympics as well as other important historical figures. Designed by well-known muralist and original 1984 Olympics artist Kent Twitchell, the mural was designed to build on the city’s rich culture.
“The murals are a lasting gift to Los Angeles to celebrate the life-changing power of Special Olympics and also honor the rich, artistic history of this city that has embraced us,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America. “Special Olympics is not only an important global sports movement but also an organization that touches individuals every day around the world. We hope everyone gets to experience the impact and help us cheer on the athletes.”
If you’re in the area make sure to check out any of the three murals for yourself. All three murals are located in close proximity to the Special Olympics venues, making it a must-see for anyone in the area.
