June 17, 2007              (We are open for business as usual)

Lompoc, California, A recent news article in the paper reported that Ocean Lanes was going to close soon and the building torn down by December 2007. An out of state developer has submitted plans for review to the city of Lompoc planning department for a proposal for 80 unit complex for the elderly. The reason behind this action is to gain tax credits that investors can use to lower taxes.

Ocean Lanes is open and plans to continue operations for a long time. The planning process, if approved would take years before any ground would be broken.

If the bowling center was to move, that would require 2.5 acres of land, at least a 28,000 to 35,000 square foot building, and dismantling, moving, installing equipment and recertification of the center. Land cost runs about $10.00 to $11.00 per square foot, building cost at least $100.00 a square foot, and the moving of the equipment at least $1.5 million dollars. Ocean Lanes is a 24 lane bowing center. Bowling center cost start at about $100,000.00 per lane for the current state of the art design. A new center would cost between $5 million to $6.5 million and would not be economical.

It is suggested for the customers of Ocean Lanes Bowling to keep right on bowing at the center and keep bowling in Lompoc.
