We had a wonderful Open House for the new Pro Peat Fertilizer plant on the 25′ of this month. Besides the normal dignitaries that had agreed to come, we had some residents of the city. I hope this made our newest business welcome in our community. The owners of this business are John Pocock and Kelton Larson. They are very committed to our community, and we thank them for locating here in Sugar City. Thank you for making them welcome.
We have also started working with a new business to be located just to the south and west of the Stake Center. We have agreed to seek assistance from the Idaho Department of Commerce, and others, to help with their infrastructure needs. This project would be similar to what was done to help Pro Peat. This new business will also bring significant numbers of jobs to our community. We will be bringing more information on them in future council meetings.
We will also be purchasing flashing crossing lights for three crossings on Center street, to again help to protect our children and others who cross the streets. We are hoping to have these installed shortly. If you have any ideas on making this community safer, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David D. Ogden, Mayor
