SELIGMAN, MO — 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. The Postal Service has decided to cancel the relocation and expand into the space next door.

The Postal Service sent an initial letter to the City of Seligman Mayor on December 21, 2021, and sent a postcard on February 7, 2022, soliciting comments from the community. The Postal Service has carefully considered all of the concerns expressed in those discussions, as well as in appeals and comments received after the public meeting. For the reasons set forth below, the Postal Service has decided to cancel the proposal and expand in the current facility.

The Postal Service was considering relocation because the current facility is too small due to the growth of the community. The Landlord of the current facility and the community would like Postal Service to expand into the vacant part of the current building. The Postal Service anticipates providing the same services at the expanded location as are currently provided to our customers at the existing location.

While the Postal Service is sensitive to the impact of this decision on its customers and the Seligman community, the Postal Service properly considered community input and this decision is consistent with Postal Service objectives. Postal Service operations are not supported by tax dollars. To be self-sustaining, the Postal Service must make decisions that ensure it provides adequate and affordable postal services in a manner that is as efficient and economical as possible.

This is the final decision of the Postal Service with respect to this matter, and there is no right to further administrative or judicial review of this decision.
