Environmental assessment covers historic customs house and temporary pedestrian building
CALEXICO, Calif. ㅡ The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) will host a virtual public meeting to discuss the draft Environmental Assessment [PDF – 3 MB] (EA) for Phase 2B of the Calexico West Land Port of Entry’s (LPOE) modernization and expansion project. The public is invited to join the virtual meeting by logging into http://ow.ly/aGjx50Kkq2T on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, from 4 to 5 p.m. PST.
GSA representatives will also talk about the project’s final phase of construction, which received more than $100 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) in February 2022. Phase 2B includes restoring the historic customs house and building a temporary pedestrian processing facility on Heffernan Avenue, just south of East 1st Street. The interim building will facilitate the demolition of the existing pedestrian facility and the construction of the new, permanent, expanded pedestrian building.
Meeting participants will have a chance to provide GSA with feedback and comments on the draft EA. Interested community stakeholders may also submit written comments via email to osmahn.kadri@gsa.gov. Written comments must be received by Monday, September 26, 2022, and include “Calexico West LPOE Public Comment” in the subject line.
