City OKs lease of land for new main post office
STORY TOOLS 
More from Local NewsThe Moorpark City Council unanimously voted Wednesday night to lease land to the U.S. Postal Service for $1 a year, for what will be the city's main post office at the west end of High Street.
The City Council approved conceptual plans recently for a 5,000-square-foot building with two full-service windows with retail services. It will be set back from Moorpark Avenue, facing High Street.
The project is on a "fast-track" to construction, with groundbreaking expected by the end of this year, city officials said.
While there are some design details to work out, like possible drive-up services, the building would sit west of Caesar's Carpets on one acre. At least 20 public parking spaces will abut Moorpark Avenue.
While a satellite post office near Casino Storage will remain, the new post office will replace the one at 215 W. Los Angeles Ave.
