Castaic to reconsider annexation to the City of Santa Clarita or the formation of their own city.

Residents of the Castaic area have formed a non-profit group called Castaic Now to research and fund the needed steps to either incorporate as a new city or become annexed to the City of Santa Clarita. They have pledged to collect an estimated $100,000 for needed economic studies.

Castaic has been considering these options for a while now, but this group has apparently stepped up to take charge of the process. They have met with city representatives from Fillmore and Calabasas to discover how those cities were formed and what steps they need to take to form their own city.

Castaic neighborhoods have made annexation requests to the City of Santa Clarita in the past, but they were apparently too piecemeal for the City to consider. The Castaic Now group plans to develop a more focused proposal to the City of Santa Clarita, as well as further exploring the possibility of creating a separate city to include Stevenson Ranch and other areas west of Interstate 5 in the Santa Clarita area.
