Allensworth Heavy Maintenance Facility a No Go


In our Winter 2010 newsletter we reported that the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) submitted a proposal to the California High Speed Rail Authority to build a heavy maintenance facility in Allensworth for the High Speed Rail System.

In a June 3, 2010 news release the California High-Speed Rail Authority announced that Allensworth was one of four sites that should not be included in further studies for the heavy maintenance facility because of land size, distance from recommended alignments and/or environmental impacts.

The authority recommended four sites for continued study as potential location for the Heavy Maintenance Facility.
     • Fresno Works – Located in Fresno
     • Kings County – Located in Hanford
     • Kern Council of Governments – Located in Wasco
     • Kern Council of Governments – Located in Shafter
