Carefree Post Office Future Changes
It has come to the Town’s attention that the current Carefree Post Office Manager, Maxine Douglass, has posted a letter on the building doors stating they are saying goodbye. The Town was not aware of this and as we hear more, we will keep you informed. We are sad to see the employees go after many years of dedicated service and have received more information as to what is happening. Please be reassured that the postal service will continue in Carefree but not by the current postal subcontractor.
1.) As of October 6th, the Post Office will continue operating in the 100 Easy Street building but will be managed by the Federal USPS
2.) The Post Office will be spending $350,000 to retrofit and upgrade the interior of the facility. This will be a “complete overhaul” of the portions of the building to be used by the Carefree Post Office and will be a combination of remodeling their existing space and adding new space.
3.) The construction will commence shortly, and is scheduled for completion sometime in October.
Once again the Town will keep you informed as we learn more. Again, we are very sad to see the existing, dedicated postal employees leaving town and wish them the best in the future.
