White Bear Lake, MN — In accordance with 39 C.F.R. S 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.

The Postal Service mailed a postcard to local residents and businesses on August 16, 2025, asking for community input. The Postal Service has carefully considered all the concerns expressed in those discussions, as well as in comments received from the public. For the reasons set forth below, the Postal Service has decided to not proceed with the relocation. The Postal Service has decided that expanding the current facility is feasible and more cost effective than relocating operations.

While the Postal Service is sensitive to the impact of this decision on its customers and the White Bear Lake 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.
