In March 1999, the District Committee for Planning and Construction in the Southern District approved for deposit a new plan for the residential complex of the moshav, after it was also approved by the Committee for the Preservation of Agricultural Land and Open Areas. The purpose of the plan was to increase the population of the settlement through a non-agricultural expansion, within the framework of the Build Your Home project, of 110 lots with a maximum area of 600 square meters each, by utilizing uncultivated areas in the area at the entrance to the village. The expansion was finally approved in May 2000.
