Benton Harbor, MI — In accordance with 39 C.F.R. § 241.4, this is the United States Postal Service final decision with respect to the Postal Service’s proposal to relocate retail services from 1800 Pipestone Rd. to a new location within Benton Harbor. The Postal Service has initially identified 1958 Mall Place, Benton Harbor, MI 49022-9998. If this location is not adequate or an agreement cannot be reached with its owner, the Postal Service will consider other sites.

Due to ongoing maintenance issues at the above location, the Postal Service has decided to relocate retail services. 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 Benton Harbor Main Post Office located at 525 Riverview Dr. 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 Benton Harbor community, the Postal Service properly considered community input and this decision is consistent with Postal Service objectives.
