Visions and Goals for Shafter's Future Outline
The plan promotes high rise office space to attract West Coast headquarters and a major hotel, protection of agricultural lands, green zoning surrounding Shafter, and strong ties with farmers. It calls for diversified jobs, stable education, and active family services, with entertainment like theaters and bicycle paths, plus a sponsor network and a March town hall for citizen input. The final vision, Our Path to Shafter's Future, dates to April 1990.
