SMYRNA – The Smyrna Post Office is not scheduled to close in late July after all, rather it could be the fall.

A U.S. Postal Service representative serving upstate New York said a proposal to close is available at the post office for public review and comment through Aug. 5. Comments collected through that period will be compiled and reviewed.

“Should a decision be made to advance this proposal to enactment, we have additional requirements for notifying local customers that would extend the changeover into the fall should we move in that direction,” said Maureen Marion, public affairs specialist.
