ALBANY, GA (WALB) -
Supporters of Albany's downtown Post Office are going ahead with a demonstration of their support at 2:00 today.
The Postal Service planned to close the branch in the old Federal Courthouse building in December to save money, but now wants to extend the lease six months.
Albany City Commissioner Roger Marietta tells WALB News that just because the Postal Service is planing a six-month extension, doesn't mean that the facility is in the clear.
Marietta says he's "Optimistic that the Post Office will remain open, but the North Florida Postal District granted an extension to the mail sorting facility in Albany in the past, and then followed through with the plan to close it."
Frances Krack, Property Manager of the Griggs Building where the Post Office is located says six additional months will allow time for a private business or individual to come in and take over operations.
Krack says she would love for the postal service to stay, but if they don't a private company will keep things going.
So she urges folks to keep those PO boxes, because someone will to continue this mail delivery business.
