HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) The post office in Harrisburg that once
coordinated all of the region's mail service is for sale.
Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed said he envisions a mixed-use
facility on the property, possibly including a hotel, retail space
and parking.
The 237,000-square-foot post office was built in the early
1960s, replacing the Reading Co. passenger terminal and freight
stations that used to occupy the 15-acre site.
The tax-exempt site was among several that have been considered
by the General Services Administration for a new federal court
house.
Harrisburg University also expressed interest in the property
several years ago. The asking price for the property wasn't
released.
