JACKSON TWP. During the March 9 regular meeting, the Jackson Township Board of Trustees held a public hearing for a rezoning request made by A-List Land Development, 1425 Whipple Ave. NW.
The company requested a revision to the layout of a previous R-3 PUD Development plan, approved on June 11, 2007, by township trustees. The property is at the northeast corner of Portage and Lutz. The original plan had 51 lots and the rezoning request being made is to allow 57 lots.
Trustees continued the hearing to 5:30 p.m. March 23 because the developer sent the wrong plans to the Zoning Department, which only included 56 units. Trustees all said they wanted time to review the plan for the 57 units.

JACKSON TWP. Fire Chief Tracy Hogue is preparing for another step in his career, a career he has wanted since a young age.
He is retiring effective March 12.
Hogue’s success started as a volunteer firefighter in 1976 before coming a paid firefighter/paramedic in 1985. From there, he was promoted to captain in 1997. He then became captain of the Fire Prevention Bureau in 2001 before he was appointed Fire Chief on March 12, 2011. He will be retiring exactly 10 years from the day he was appointed chief at 4:30 p.m. on March 12.
“My parents told me I wanted to be a firefighter from a young age and my retiring this year is a pension required retirement at my age,” wrote Hogue. “I decided to apply for the fire chief’s job after Fire Chief Ted Heck announced his retirement. I had worked under him for 35 years and felt I could keep the department running and continue to build and improve on the foundation he had established here.

MASSILLON The incoming city fire chief said the profession has been in his blood for all of his 49 years.
Heck has been tapped to lead the Fire Department, replacing longtime leader Tom Burgasser who is retiring on April 9.
Heck s father, Ted, is a former Jackson Fire Department chief who retired in 2011. It s kind of in our blood, said Heck about the profession from Massillon s Fire Station 1. I ve been around (firefighting) all my life.
His first official day on the job as agency commander is slated April 10.
Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry announced Heck as the city s new chief Monday night at the tail end of a City Council special meeting.
