PORTSMOUTH, NH — Today the United States Postal Service announced that it is planning to relocate the retail services from the Portsmouth Main Post Office, located at 80 Daniels Street, Portsmouth, to a yet-to-be-determined new location as close as reasonably possible to the existing site.
The Postal Service needs to relocate because its occupancy agreement with the General Service Administration on the present site will terminate on April 30, 2016 and there is no option to extend occupancy beyond this date.
Public input is welcome. Postal Officials will make a presentation explaining the details of this plan and listen to public comments before the Portsmouth City Council at its public meeting scheduled for November 17, 2014 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in City Council Chambers, Municipal Complex, One Junkins Avenue, Portsmouth.
For those unable to attend the meeting, written comments will be accepted through December 1, 2014. Comments must be in writing and sent to the following address:
Joseph J. Mulvey
U.S. Postal Service
2 Congress Street, Room 8
Milford, MA 01757-9998
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
