April 23, 2021
QUEENS, NY – Today, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) announced that the United States Postal Service has renewed its lease for the post office in Maspeth, Queens.
During the last several months, Meng made several inquiries with postal officials about the future of the facility after members of the community expressed concerns over the renewal of the lease.
The Postal Service informed Meng that the new lease will run through January 31, 2026.
"I thank the Postal Service for hearing the concerns I expressed to them from local residents who said that they wanted this facility to stay right where it is, and I'm glad that it will," said Congresswoman Meng. "I look forward to this post office continuing to provide convenient and important and services to the area, and serving the needs of those who live and work in the community."
"The Maspeth Post Office is a vital part of the community as residents rely on its service to bring them their mail, packages and oftentimes their life-saving medicines," said State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. "I would like to thank my colleagues in government, especially Congressmember Grace Meng, for their advocacy on behalf of all of our constituents to help keep this post office in the local community, as well as the Postal Service for listening to our concerns and deciding to keep this important community service."
"Thank you to the Postal Service who listened to the concerns of our community," said Assemblyman Brian Barnwell. "Once we saw the for rent sign on the building, my office, and other electeds were in constant communication with the post office regarding how important this building was. I am glad the post office will be staying and serving the people of our community."
"It's good news the Maspeth Post Office will remain in place," said Councilman Robert Holden. "The Post Office and its staff provide vital services that must be conveniently located, especially for our seniors."
The Maspeth Post Office is located in Meng's congressional district at 55-02 69th Street.
