Get Ready For Merle Haggard Drive

POSTED: 5:20 pm PST December 19, 2006
UPDATED: 5:33 pm PST December 19, 2006

After months of debate, the Board of Supervisors has decided what road to name after Oildale native and country music legend Merle Haggard.

The board decided Tuesday to re-name a stretch of 7th Standard Road from Highway 99 to North Chester Avenue to Merle Haggard Drive.

The name change will be funded by local fundraising and is expected to cost around $41,000.

The 7th Standard name change beat out other possible locations such as North Chester Avenue north from the Kern River, and all of Airport Drive.
