City Hall Post Office to Remain Open

  The post office inside Dearborn City Hall will remain open, after being removed from the United States Postal Services list for potential closure.

  Dearborn Congressman John Dingell had been vocal in his opposition of the station’s possible closure, arguing that the community relies on this station for essential services.

  Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. also advocated for the City Hall post office, which serves many senior citizens in the surrounding neighborhoods.

  “This post office provides a valued service to residents who live nearby and walk to City Hall, as well as area business people with demanding schedules, who know they can get in and out in a few minutes,” said O’Reilly. 

  Said Dingell, “Closing the Maple Station would inconvenience our civil servants, as well as Dearborn’s sizable senior citizens population. I felt it was very important that we look at the big picture, including east Dearborn’s future growth potential.”

  Dingell and O’Reilly praised neighbors for speaking up.

  “I want to thank all of my constituents who spoke out against, and worked with me on the potential closure of this station,” said Dingell.

  “The USPS plays a special role in communities through the country, sometimes serving as the only link between the local citizenry and the federal government.  I could not be more pleased that the USPS will remain an active presence at the Maple Station within Dearborn City Hall,” Dingell said.

  No word on whether the Tel-Ford Station Post Office, also on the proposed list of closings, will receive a similar reprieve. 

  The Maple Station is opened 8:30am – 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. Call 313-581-5014.
