SOUTH WOODSTOCK — The South Woodstock U.S. Post Office will be closing permanently Sept. 30.
According to customers, the owner of the property, Northeast Placement Services (NEPS), recently notified the post office that the lease for the office would not be renewed. No reason was given.
NEPS Executive Director Timothy Kettle, who notified the post office staff, could not be reached for comment.
A for-lease space next to Java Jive was suggested as an alternative, but the U.S. Post Office officials said no.
Those who have rented a box at the South Woodstock Post Office (there are no carriers, only post office boxes there) will have their box number AND zip code transferred to the main post office across from the Woodstock Trading Post (formerly Sweet Evalina’s).
Because the South Woodstock zip code will still be used, there will be no “duplicate” post office box numbers.
