City Celebrates LEED Gold Certification of Skechers Facility 

 

The City of Moreno Valley proudly announces that Skechers USA's North American Distribution Center in Moreno Valley has been certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).  The 1,820,457 square foot building, developed by Highland Fairview, is the largest LEED Gold certified project of its kind in the U.S. 

 

LEED designation in new building construction is highly prestigious. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is administered by the USGBC.  LEED is a comprehensive system to define, measure and designate "green buildings."  Certification in the national recognition program is based on strict standards in five key areas: site management, energy consumption, material use and indoor environmental quality.

 

Skechers USA hosted a ceremony on Friday February 22, 2013, to celebrate the project's achievement.  Several VIPs attended to congratulate Skechers including Supervisor Marion Ashley and representatives from Governor Brown's Office and Highland Fairview - the building's developer. 

 

For information on these, and other development projects in Moreno Valley, contact the city's Community & Economic Development Department at 951.413.3460 or visit their webpage at www.moval.org

firecookFire-Cooking Safety Tips
Many families gather in the kitchen to spend time together. However; it can be one of the most hazardous rooms in the house if you don't practice safe cooking behaviors.
 

Cooking equipment, such as stoves, ovens, deep fryers and open grills, are the leading cause of reported home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. A recent study from the United States Fire Administration (USFA) estimated an average of 164,500 home fires per year caused by cooking.

 

So whether you are cooking the family dinner or a snack for the kids, practicing these safety tips will help keep you and your family safe.

 

Watch What You Heat:
 
Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen, for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

  • If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.
  • To prevent cooking fires, you have to be alert! Drinking alcohol and taking medication that causes drowsiness are a few things that can affect your ability to stay alert and attentive.  Plan ahead by designating  a meeting location away from the home, but not necessarily across the street in case a home fire occurs. For example, meet under a specific tree or at the end of the driveway or front sidewalk to make sure everyone has gotten out safely.           

To learn more about protecting your family from smoke and fire, visit www.fire.ca.gov or www.usfa.dhs.gov.
