ASTORIA, QUEENS, NY — The USPS is happy to announce that renovations for the new Astoria Post Office are near completion.  Postmaster Michael Menasche announces that the community can expect to conduct their postal business at the new location starting this Saturday, May 24, 2014 

Customers are asked to visit the Astoria Post Office at its new address, 30-11 21st Street, Astoria, NY 11102, which is in the same vicinity of the present address, starting Saturday.  The hours of operation at the new address are:

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
