Final Decision Regarding Longton Post Office Location Located At 416 Kansas Ave.

LONGTON, KS — In accordance with 39 C.F.R. § 241.4, this is the United States Postal Service’s final decision with respect to the Postal Service’s proposal to relocate retail services from the above-referenced Post Office to a new location within city limits of Longton, Ks. The Postal Service has initially identified 513 Kansas Ave. to place a modular building. If this location is not adequate or an agreement cannot be reached with its owner, the Postal Service will consider other sites.

Due to structural and safety concerns, the Postal Service determined it was necessary to find a new location. The Postal Service anticipates providing the same services at the new location as were previously provided to our customers at the previous location. Additionally, the Postal Service plans to continue services at the Independence Main Post Office until the replacement facility is open and operation as a Post Office.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

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