GANADO, AZ — In accordance with 39 C.F.R. § 241.4, this is the United States Postal Service’s final decision with respect to the proposal to relocate retail services from the Ganado Post Office, located at 191 State Highway 264, to the northeast corner of US-191 & State Hwy 264, Ganado, AZ 86505. If this location is not adequate or an agreement cannot be reached with its owner, the Postal Service will consider other sites.

A postcard was mailed to local residents and businesses on November 30, 2022, asking for community input. The Postal Service has carefully considered all of the concerns expressed as well as in comments received from the public. For the reasons set forth below, the Postal Service has decided to proceed with the relocation.

Due to the potential loss of lease from the poor condition of the current facility, the Postal Service will need to relocate. The Postal Service anticipates providing the same services at the new location as were previously provided to our customers at the current location. Additionally, the Postal Service plans to continue services at the current Post Office until the replacement facility is open and operating as a Post Office.

While the Postal Service is sensitive to the impact of this decision on its customers and the Ganado community, the Postal Service properly considered community input and this decision is consistent with Postal Service objectives. The Postal Service is a self-funded entity, generally receiving no tax dollars and must make decisions to control its cost and cover them through the sale of products and services.

This is the final decision of the Postal Service with respect to this matter, and there is no right to further administrative or judicial review of this decision.
