IN JANUARY, THE U-S-P-S ANNOUNCED THE CLOSURE OF THE EAST SIDE POST OFFICE IN SANTA CRUZ BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO COME TO LEASE TERMS WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER. DESPITE COMMUNITY OUTCRY OVER THE CLOSURE (AND REPLACEMENT BY A GROCERY OUTLET, THE U-S-P-S HAS APPROVED A PLAN FOR RELOCATION OF THE MORRISSEY BOULEVARD LOCATION. THE PLAN PROPOSES MOVING TO AN UNDETERMINED SITE AS CLOSE TO THE CURRENT FACILITY AS POSSIBLE WITH NO CHANGE IN ZIP CODES AND THE GOAL OF KEEPING ALL THE P O BOX NUMBERS THE SAME. NO IMPLEMENTATION DATE HAS BEEN DETERMINED.
(A GROCERY OUTLET IS EXPECTED TO OPEN IN THE BUILDING IN APRIL 2015)
