BARSTOW — After spending the past 16 years working at Fort Irwin National Training Center, Lisa Mendez decided to start her own business.
The Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday held a ribbon cutting for High Desert Signings at 536 Barstow Road. According to Mendez, the new business has partnered with the Department of Motor Vehicles to process vehicle registrations and will eventually offer paralegal services, license verifying and Live Scan.
"We are waiting for our equipment to come in," Mendez said. Dave Grant is the other owner of the business.
Mendez said the firm will be open Saturdays.
"We want to provide services when people need it," she said. "Even when we are closed, if people call, we will come in."
