Shafter Port Development Proposed for Giant Jet Airport
A Los Angeles engineering firm urges transforming Shafter Airport into a giant jet port with a 12 000 foot runway. The plan requires 693 acres for the port and 421 acres for sale, with current tenants and plants including Kleen Seed, Gro Pak, Hanner Trailer, and a small aircraft hangar. Existing utilities and a disposal plant support expansion as neighboring Mojave and Tehachapi areas draw similar giant jet interests.
