Shafter Could Quadruple in Size With LAFCO Annexation
Shafter may grow from 2.1 to 9.4 square miles if LAFCO approves annexation extending to east of Highway 99 around Minter Field. City manager Wade McKinney cites need for industrial expansion while preserving small town character and protecting prime agricultural land. Water district concerns include nitrates and phased rate increases, with a proposed pipeline cost of about 1.1 million. Richland Lerdo School District stands to gain from the change.
