Lompoc Construction Boom Expected to Reach $6 Million
City records project the 1965 construction total for Lompoc to exceed six million dollars, the eight year high, driven by 36 Roger Boyer homes on West Hickory Avenue and multiple other projects including a new convenience center at Ocean and B Streets and the Record Building at 115 North H Street. The value would top 1964's 5.6 million but stay below 1963's 10.4 million and the 1962 peak of 19.6 million.
