Customers who used the downtown post office before it relocated to East Hill are being asked to comment on a new possible location for a downtown post office branch.
- Last spring, the United States Postal Service (USPS) closed its popular branch at 101 S. Palafox Street due to the site’s redevelopment.
On “Real News with Rick Outzen” last week, I asked NAI Pensacola owner DeeDee Davis what she had heard about the post office returning downtown.
“My lips are sealed,” she said but added, “We’ve got something in the works downtown. Hopefully this is all going to work out. It’s pretty far along in negotiations, but it’s government, so it doesn’t move fast.”
Where? The USPS notice says it is proposing moving to a building approximately 4,000 sq. ft. within a one-mile radius of the old location.
The public is invited to mail in the next 45 days comments to:
Attn: Pensacola, FL Downtown Stn Relocation
United States Postal Service
P.O. Box 27497
Greensboro, NC27488-1103
I’m unable to comment as negotiated location is not disclosed. I believe that there is definitely a need for postal service in Downtown to serve the business communities.
