FISHERVILLE, KY — After the unexpected closure of the Fisherville Post Office nearly four months ago, the office is set to officially reopen on Monday, August 24.

The Post Office, located at 15125 Old Taylorsville Road, was forced to close its doors on April 27 due to safety concerns after brown recluse spiders were discovered inside the building.

Post Office Box customers who had been picking up their mail at Eastwood KY Post Office will be able to resume pick up at the Fisherville Post Office starting Monday.

“It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally been given the all-clear to reopen,” said a relieved Taylorsville Postmaster Sandra Caudill. “After countless pesticide treatments and some exterior patching, the building has been deemed safe by our maintenance department. We will resume operations in Fisherville next week.”

“All along, our top priority has been for the safety of postal customers and our employees,” added Caudill. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and apologize for the inconvenience the situation caused.”
