$40-Million Lancaster Postal Center Planned
- Share via
The U.S. Postal Service has announced plans to build a more than $40-million regional mail processing center in Lancaster beginning in 1994 to replace an older, outdated facility in Mojave, officials said.
The Postal Service has purchased 25 acres for $6.5 million at Avenue K-8 and Division Street in the Lancaster Business Park, a venture of the city’s Redevelopment Agency and the nonprofit Lancaster Economic Development Corp.
The 200,000-square-foot facility will employ 200 people and allow postal officials to install more automation equipment. The current Mojave center sorts mail to and from communities from the Antelope Valley to Bridgeport on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
