Harrisburg post office is for sale

Friday, November 06, 2009

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.
