Proposed Relocation of Rockhouse, KY, Post Office

What:

The U.S. Postal Service will mail a postcard to the impacted community, announcing a proposed relocation of the Rockhouse, KY, Main Post Office, located at 4535 Marrowbone Creek Road, Rockhouse KY 41561. The postcard provides information about the public comment period.  

Who:

USPS Real Estate Specialist Dawn Moore

Background:

Due to landlord’s nonrenewal of the lease at the former location, the Postal Service is now looking for a new retail location within two (2) miles of the former location. The desired size of the new facility needs to be one of the following:

(a) an existing building, approximately 700 square feet, with dedicated parking or (b) a land site to lease, approximately 8,500 square feet, in which the Postal Service can bring in a postal-owned modular building.

The relocation project will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, as close as reasonably possible to the existing location.

We are inviting comments on the proposal and request they be sent to the following address within 45 days from delivery of the postcard: United States Postal Service, ATTN: Rockhouse, KY, Main Post Office Relocation, PO BOX 27497, Greensboro, NC 27498-1103.
