Back in June I asked, “What ever happened to Arvin?“  While there had been some expressions of concern about ever seeing an Arvin Enterprise Zone, representatives from the City assured me that they were working diligently toward completion.

Today I spoke with Mike Kunz who heads up the Enterprise Zone effort for Arvin’s Economic Development Department.  He told me that since June the City has had their EIR (Environmental Impact Report) certified and submitted to HCD, completed their draft MOU for the zone, and gotten their TEA application done.  He is now working on the MOU Suppliment which will define more specific metrics for the success of the zone.  Kunz thinks that should be the last hurdle and he estimated completion and zone designation within 6-8 weeks.
