Downtown Development Plans Face Several Hurdles in Shafter
The Shafter redevelopment agency pursues a $1 million square foot warehouse proposal for the city, leases the old Floyd's building for three years, and eyes tax incentives to attract retailers. A grant is sought to aid downtown business revival while a Rite Aid project is unlikely. Parallel plans include a Sonic Drive-In site, park upgrades at Rodriguez Park, a youth center relocation, railroad crossing repairs, and a butterfly garden project pending funding.
