Downtown Albany Post Office to Remain Open
Thursday, July 10th, 2014
After considerable public outcry over the past few years over its proposed closure, the downtown Albany Post Office will remain open for at least an additional five years.
Albany and Dougherty County officials announced at a joint news conference Wednesday that the Postal Service has agreed to a new five year lease with property owner Lone Star Equities, Inc. that will keep the post office, located at Broad Avenue and Jefferson Street open until 2019.
“This historic building, which is a major part of the fiber of Albany and Dougherty County, will remain open for the next five years,” said Dougherty County Commission Chairman Jeff “Bodine” Sinyard. “It’s a very, very exciting day for Albany and Dougherty County.”
