Fastenal grand opening highlights business optimism
The recent construction of Bailey Court Industrial Park is providing big opportunities for new businesses to nestle into Tehachapi and resident businesses to expand. Fastenal, a seller of construction and industrial supplies based in Winona, Minn., opened its doors at 1170 E. Tehachapi Blvd. in late January.
"The original thought of bringing Fastenal to Tehachapi was because of the wind farms," said general manager Ron Lefever. "But we've had a lot more business than we expected."

Bakersfield Californian Foundation buys cameras for Tehachapi High School
Students in Tehachapi High School's digital photography class now have new cameras thanks to the Arts, Science Technology Corporation (AST) and The Bakersfield Californian Foundation.
According to Joel Backmann of AST, Tehachapi High School offers digital photography classes to its students as part of its overall offering of art programs. Older cameras used by these classes had deteriorated to the point where they were unusable by the students. Complicating the situation was that the school had no money for replacements and Canon would no longer repair or give technology support for the outdated cameras.
