Economic Development EXTRA! The city has been focusing its econom- ic development efforts towards several opportunities in local commercial and industrial areas. These areas include the Bald Eagle Industrial Park, Down- town, CSAH 8 Corridor, and the Pelo- quin Industrial Park. Added attention is also being placed towards the marketing of city owned property along Egg Lake. As a core area of the Downtown Master Plan, we are very focused on developing this area in a way that is mutually benefi- cial for the city, its residents, and in a way that meets the Downtown Design Guidelines. These guidelines were adopted by the City Council in 2007 and have been the driving force behind our cities image. We intend for this development to be a mixture of retail sales, office space, and entertainment that will blend together the cultural, recreational, and civic values we as a community appreciate. Check Your Detectors Of the 570 calls that the volunteers of • Smoke alarms should be located on the Hugo Fire Department responded to in 2012, over 100 of them were "alarm calls". These are calls where flames or smoke are not seen but a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, or other such alarm was heard or gas was smelled. The Hugo Fire Department would like to remind residents to properly main- tain the detectors in their homes. Please follow these guidelines to keep your family safe: Test your CO/smoke detectors monthly. every level, inside every sleeping room, and outside sleeping areas. Every time you change your clocks, change your batteries. Please remember to install them correctly. Smoke/CO detectors have an expi- ration date! Please take a moment and check your manufacturer date located on the back side of your detector. Most detectors should be replaced 7-10 years after the manu- facture date.
