BURLINGTON, TX -- The U.S. Postal Service is considering the potential relocation of retail services that were provided from the Burlington Main Post Office, 14 Church Ave., Burlington, TX 76519, to a new, yet-to-be-determined location as close as reasonably possible to the existing Post Office location in order to better serve postal customers in the community.

The U.S. Postal Service will be hosting a public meeting at 4:30 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, in the lobby of the Rosebud Post Office, 206 N 5th St., Rosebud, TX 76570.  Officials with the Postal Service’s Facilities Department will be there to share information and answer questions.

Postal customers, including those unable to attend the Feb. 1 meeting, may submit written comments to the following address:

U.S. Postal Service Southern Facilities Service Office
c/o Damian Salazar, Real Estate Specialist
7800 N. Stemmons Freeway, Suite 400
Dallas, TX 75247-4220

The Postal Service will consider all comments prior to making its final decision.  All comments and recommendations received by March 3, 2018, will be considered. 

A public notice, along with a copy of the Postal Service’s letter to Commissioner Donald Shuffield, is currently posted in the community.

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