Las Vegas to see new $1.8 million post office groundbreaking
Groundbreaking for a new Las Vegas post office valued at 1.8 million dollars is set for Saturday at 11 a.m. Sen. Howard Cannon and Postmaster Robert Lias announce the project to serve Las Vegas Lincoln Esmeralda and Nye counties. The 63 000 square foot building on Keno Lane will replace older facilities and is to be completed by Sept 1 1967 with J A Tiberti Construction Co as general contractor. The privately owned facility will remain on the tax rolls and will house mail for a wide regional area. Postmaster General Lawrence F O'Brien says the expansion aligns with President Johnsons directive for efficient low-cost service as mail volume grows toward 1980 expectations.
