The USPS Returns to Aripeka!



Today it is official, the USPS has again taken possession of the Post Office Building on Aripeka Road. It is not certain when the USPS will actually re-open our Post Office, but the lease is in place and they can begin their work!

For those of us who drive, going to the Hudson location to get our mail has been annoying and time consuming, but for those who for whatever reason do not drive, it has been a true hardship.  Re-opening the Aripeka Post Office is not only the right thing for the USPS to do since most of the people served by this location do not receive curbside delivery of their mail, but it is "right" for our community.

Thanks to all who wrote letters, made phone calls, signed petitions, attended meetings and worked with the media to help make this happen.  And a special "thank you" to Carl Norfleet, had he not stepped up to purchase the building we would have lost our Post Office in Aripeka forever.
