FLINT, MI – Flint’s downtown U.S. post office could be moving or closing after the owners of the Dryden building say they’ve waited for nearly a year to talk with officials on a renovation of its Saginaw Street location.

“Effective July 24, 2015, The United States Postal Service may no longer provide retail and shipping services and post office box rental at this location, 601 S. Saginaw St., Flint MI 48502,” the letter reads. “The Post Office may be relocated.”

Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on Potential Closure of Downtown Flint, Michigan Post Office

July 6, 2015

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) today issued the following statement after it was reported that the downtown Flint branch of the U.S. Postal Service could close:

“The downtown Post Office provides an essential service to businesses and residents and I am very concerned about its potential closure. I have personally called the Postmaster to discuss a solution that keeps a post office open in downtown Flint. I am also disappointed that the U.S. Postal Service failed to inform my office of this potential closure and the lack of information that has been provided about why they chose to close this particular location. I continue to work with the U.S. Postal Service to keep a downtown Post Office open so that mail service to Flint residents is not affected.”
