Meng: Postal Service Renews Lease for Kew Gardens Post Office
May 5, 2020
QUEENS, NY – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) announced today that the United States Postal Service has renewed its lease for the post office in Kew Gardens, Queens.
The Postal Service informed Meng's office that the new lease will be for five years from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2026.
The current lease expires on July 31, 2021.
Last month, Meng asked the Postal Service about the future of the facility after members of the community expressed concern that the lease may not be renewed.
"The decision to renew the lease for the Kew Gardens Post Office is great news for the community," said Meng. "I thank the Postal Service for its commitment to this facility, and to those who live in the area. This post office provides important postal services to neighborhood residents at a convenient location, and I'm pleased that it will continue to serve the community for years to come."
The facility is located at 83-30 Austin Street, which is in Meng's congressional district.
