Public meeting scheduled for Feb. 13 on the proposed relocation of Northridge Main Post Office

NORTHRIDGE, CA — The U.S. Postal Service is considering relocating services from the current Northridge Main Post Office located at 9534 Reseda Blvd, Northridge, CA 91324, to a yet-to-be-determined location, as close as possible to the current location.

The Postal Service is considering relocation because our landlord has plans to redevelop the property that the Postal Service occupies, and will not renew the lease.

A public meeting will be held to explain the proposal and hear comments at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020, at the Northridge Main Post Office lobby, 9534 Reseda Blvd, Northridge, CA 91324.

Additionally, for 30 days after the public meeting, anyone may submit written comments to the address below for the Postal Service’s consideration prior to its final decision. Please submit written comments to:

Dean Cameron
Pacific Facilities Service Office
U.S. Postal Service
1300 Evans Ave. Ste. 200
San Francisco CA 94188-8200

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