Tejon Ranch Co. Plans New Community

LOS ANGELES, CA-Tejon Ranch Co. and three prominent builders have filed plans with Los Angeles County for a new community called Centennial that would be built on 11,700 acres of the 270,000-acre Tejon Ranch north of Los Angeles on the Kern County border.

The new community would include commercial and retail development, schools, libraries, entertainment centers and medical facilities along with 23,000 homes. The site is about 60 miles north of Los Angeles on the Kern County border near the junction of Interstate 5 and Highway 138.

Bob Stine, CEO of Tejon Ranch, says the new town will require the partners to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure to plan and build schools, roads, parks, and other development.
