U. S. Postal Service seeking new location for Lamar Post Office

 


(From United States Postal Service)



The U.S. Postal Service will send out a postcard for the Lamar Post Office located at 131 W 11th St., Lamar MO 64759 from USPS Real Estate Specialist Greg Shelton

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.

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

They are not efficient had a package go from FW TX to KC MO back to FW TX back to KC MO to SGF to Olathe KS to SGF to Joplin back to SGF and then my local and when it goes to KCMO or Olathe it sets for days. Local post office is awesome (Sarcoxie) they never drop the ball.
This is a common occurrence , happens all the time most recent 17 days from Dallas suburb to Sarcoxie
