Mahwah post office staying downtown – for now

Mahwah’s main post office on E. Ramapo Avenue.

MAHWAH – A controversial proposal to move Mahwah’s main post office to an annex outside the center of town has been scrapped, according to postal officials.

Kurtis Bullard, a U.S. Postal Service real estate specialist, said the agency abandoned a plan to relocate to the annex post office on Industrial Avenue for “Financial reasons.” Upgrading the annex to provide delivery and counter service would have cost around $600,000, he said.

Residents and local officials had protested the idea, saying that the current building is centrally located, serves the majority of township residents and houses a large number of post office boxes for local businesses.
