The site is currently under agricultural production with a portion located within an incorporated area of the City of Porterville (36.27 gross acres) another portion within an unincorporated area of the County of Tulare (39.0 gross acres). This project is proposed in order to anticipate and meet the demand of increases in projected inmate housing needs.
