What:

Who:

USPS Real Estate Specialist Greg Shelton

Background:

Due to space deficiencies within the building in Lamar MO, the Postal Service is now looking for a new potential relocation of retail service to a yet-to-be-determined location within three miles of the 131 W 11th St. location. The Postal Service will be considering the following options: a) relocate retail to an existing building that is about 1,550 SF with 13+ parking and keep carrier in the current building, b) relocate carriers into a 4,700 SF facility with 17+ parking and keep retail in the current facility or (c)purchase land of about 65,000 SF to build a new postal owned facility and potential sell the current Post Office. All properties must be out of the 100-year flood plain.

The relocation project will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, as close as reasonably possible to the existing location. Retail Services will continue at the current location until all necessary preparations are completed at the new location.

We are inviting you to send your comments on the proposal to the following address within the next 30 days to: United States Postal Service, Attn Lamar MO Relocation, PO BOX 27497, Greensboro, NC 27498-1103.
