Shafter volunteer helped design Aqaba city in Jordan
Bakersfield planner Ken Schroeter, now volunteering in Shafter, designed Aqaba for the Jordanian government in the early 1960s. He recalls battles with Pan American Airways and low profile Mount of Olives development while supervising projects in Jerusalem. He moved back to Bakersfield after retiring and works with Project Clean Air and Shafter on a month by month basis, delivering a 40 item annexation checklist, critiquing open space plans, and comparing Shafter's 1984 general plan with the 1990 Visions project.
