What:

The U.S. Postal Service is mailing a postcard to the Longton KS addresses, announcing a proposed relocation of the Post Office previously located at 416 Kansas Ave, Longton, KS 67352-9500. The postcard provides information about the public comment period.  

Who:

USPS Real Estate Specialist Greg Shelton   

Background:

Due to safety concerns with the building, the Postal Service is now looking for a new retail services to a yet-to-be-determined location within three miles of the 416 Kansas Ave. location. The desired size of the new facility needs to be one of the following: (a) lease an existing building that is about 990 gross SF with 11+ parking or b) find land to lease that is about 11,000 SF to allow for a new postal owned modular building to be constructed outside of the 100-year flood plain.

The relocation project will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, as close as reasonably possible to the existing location. Retail Services will continue at the Independence KS Post Office until all necessary preparations are completed at the new location.

We are inviting you to send your comments on the proposal to the following address within the next 45 days to:

United States Postal Service
Attn Longton KS Relocation
PO BOX 27497
Greensboro, NC 27498-1103.    

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