Shafter SRPD Eyes 1985 With Major Projects Planned
Shafter Recreation and Parks Department aims to complete two big projects in 1985. The SRPD plans new offices at the Shafter Sports Complex site and a co sponsored softball soccer facility with Shafter High by early spring. The Senior Citizen Building renovation on Sunset Avenue should gain approvals by February, possibly allowing seniors to move by year end. The group Shafter Citizens Action Group sued over the complex in 1984 but a October ruling allowed construction with minor restrictions, despite more than $30,000 in court costs. The projects should boost adult recreation, school sports, and youth soccer while freeing space for Boy Scouts and senior programs.
