The Post Office in Aripeka

This Post Office means a lot to a lot of people!

Bay News 9 announced this morning that Carl Norfleet had purchased the land where the Aripeka Post Office is located and intends to enter negotiations with the USPS to sign a new lease to continue the operation of the Post Office in Aripeka.

For those of you who did not attend the Public Meeting with the USPS, Carl Norfleet announced at the meeting that he would buy the land IF the USPS would consider entering into a new lease with him to operate the Post Office in Aripeka.  There was no definitive decision at the meeting but representatives from the USPS said it was certainly something they would consider.

By purchasing the land on this week, Carl Norfleet has put the possible lease back on the table, now we wait and see how the USPS responds to this development.  Here's hoping they will sign a new lease and get our Post Office going again.
