Notice of Proposed Relocation and Comment Period

Port Edwards, WI, Post Office

What:

The U.S. Postal Service is mailing a postcard to the Port Edwards WI addresses, announcing a proposed relocation of the Post Office previously located at 160 Market Ave., Port Edwards, WI 54469-9998. The postcard provides information about the public comment period.

Who:

USPS Real Estate Specialist Greg Shelton

Background:

Due to potential safety concerns, the Postal Service is now looking for a new retail location within two miles of the previous location. The Postal Service is looking for either (a) an existing building that is about 550 SF with 8+ parking or (b) land to lease that is about 8,500 SF for the Postal Service to place a Postal owned building.

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 temporary COOP Post Office in Wisconsin Rapids, WI located at 320 E Grand Ave. until all necessary preparations are completed at the new location.

We are inviting comments on the proposal and request they be sent to the following address within the next 45 days: United States Postal Service, ATTN: Port Edwards WI Relocation, PO BOX 27497, Greensboro, NC 27498-1103.

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 167 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.
