What: |
Representatives from the Postal Service will attend a town council meeting tomorrow to discuss a proposal that re-establishes retail-only services by the Davenport Center Post Office within the same zip code area. No site has been selected. The public is invited. |
|
When: |
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 7 p.m. |
|
Where: |
Davenport Town Hall 11600 State Route 23 in Davenport Center |
|
Key Speaker: |
US Postal Service Real Estate Specialist Michael K. Bullard |
|
Background: |
The “new space project” will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, preparing the new location for use as a post office and then transitioning the retail services to the new location. The Postal Service would continue retail services in the alternate Post Office until the new post office is up and running. At the public meeting, the Postal Service will identify the need, identify the tentative decision to re-establish retail services, outline the proposal to meet the need for relocation, invite questions, solicit written input on the proposal, and provide an address to which the community and local officials may send written appeals of the tentative decision and comments on the proposal for a period of 30 days following the public meeting. Because the proposal concerns re-establishing, we also will: (1) discuss the reasons for re-establishing; (2) identify the site or area, or both, to which the Postal Service anticipates re-establishing the retail services; and (3) describe the anticipated size of the retail service facility for the relocated retail services, and the anticipated services to be offered at the new location. After the 30-day comment and appeal period, the Postal Service will consider the comments and appeals received that identify reasons why the Postal Service’s tentative decision and proposal is, or is not, the optimal solution for the identified need. Following that consideration, the Postal Service will make a final decision to proceed with, modify, or cancel the proposal. The Postal Service then will inform you in writing of its final decision, send an initial news release announcing the final decision to local news media and post a copy of the information in the public lobby of the Post Office. The Postal Service then will implement the final decision. Those who are unable to attend are encouraged to submit written comments on the proposal to: Michael K. Bullard, Real Estate Specialist Comments are welcome by email at michael.k.bullard@usps.gov. |
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
