Shipping Container Reborn as Power, MT Post Office

Power, MT Post Office

Did you know the Power, MT Post Office location is made from a repurposed shipping container?

In 2019 the Power, MT Post Office celebrated a grand reopening after the original location had been closed for more than a year. And when it reopened, it made history as the only Post Office location to be built using a shipping container.

The Postal Service worked with the community throughout 2018 to come up with ideas for the new office location and design.

The Power Post Office is located at 406 Central Av. and is open for business five days a week, 7 a.m. – 11 a.m., and access to the PO Box lobby is available 24/7.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
