The United States Postal Service (USPS) is proposing the relocation of the post office presently located at 2300 Redondo Ave. to a yet-to-be-determined location as close as reasonably possible to the current site, according to USPS officials.
“This relocation project would provide full continuity of service and would consist of procuring a suitable alternate location, preparing the new location for use as a post office and then transitioning services to the new facility,” reads a press release from the postal service. “All retail service would remain at 2300 Redondo Ave.
until a new post office facility is up and running. Post-office box numbers and the ZIP code would remain the same.”
If the relocation moves forward, USPS anticipates selling the facility formerly known as the Long Beach Processing & Distribution Center that is located at 2300 Redondo Ave.
In undertaking this project, USPS will complete a process set forth in Title 39 Code of Federal Regulations 241.4, which provides for notification to elected officials and the local community and solicits public input from them, according to the USPS.
The postal service will host a public meeting to discuss the proposal with customers and receive comments on Tuesday, Nov. 24, in the post office lobby at 2300 Redondo Ave. Postal service officials will be present from 10am to noon to meet with interested parties.
Comments will also be accepted by mail through Dec. 24. Written comments may be submitted to:
