Post Office In Powderhorn Reopens After Damage During Unrest

MINNEAPOLIS — The United States Post Office location in Minneapolis' Powderhorn neighborhood has reopened after undergoing repairs to the facility. It had closed due to damage during the unrest in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd.

"The employees of the Powderhorn Station are excited to be serving the community again," said Minneapolis Postmaster William Jones in a statement. "We are happy to reopen a neighborhood location for our customers to complete their postal business."

As a precautionary measure, the Postal Service also temporarily removed some collection boxes in St. Paul and Minneapolis. They will be back in service when it is deemed "safe to do so," and when carriers are able to collect the mail within them "without incident," according to a news release.

The Lake Street and Minnehaha Post Office locations are still closed:

• Residents who normally use the Lake Street Station should use the Loring Station at 18 N 12th Street, 55403.
• People who normally use the Minnehaha Station should use the Minneapolis Main Post Office at 100 S 1st Street, 55401.

A special window has been set up for customers to pick up their post office box mail and mail held due to damaged businesses or residences. An ID will be required for all mail pickups.
