Orange 編譯) 波士頓市議員Liz
Breadon 喜孜孜宣佈，美國郵政局
(USPS)和房地產公司Eden務業簽署意向書後，已同意回奧斯頓
(Allston)區，在哈佛道
(Harvard Avenue) 的新地點重設奧斯頓郵政局。
由於樓宇結構問題，奧斯頓郵政局在2019年關閉了。過去這4年來，奧斯頓和布萊頓
(Brighton) 的大約7萬7千居民用的是布萊頓中心的郵政局布萊頓分局。
2021年時，Eden物業買下了奧斯頓郵政局舊址，打算蓋一棟綜合用途的住宅大樓，稱為「哈佛道25-39號計畫」，並和USPS洽談，由USPS佔用地面一樓約1500平方英尺的零售店面。波士頓計畫發展局
(BPDA) 正在審查該計畫。
波士頓市第9區市議員Liz Breadon表示，奧斯頓的移民社區、小企業東主，以及耆英人口都仰賴這郵局提供許多基本服務，她很高興知道這一重要進展，也支持郵政局回歸奧斯頓鄰里。麻州眾議員Kevin Honan，以及多數黨領袖Michael Moran也都支持郵政局回到奧斯頓。
Allston Post Office Set to Return With New Location on Harvard Ave
Eden Properties and USPS agree to letter of intent; Post office has been closed since 2019
ALLSTON, BOSTON (October 16, 2023) - The United States Postal Service (USPS) has agreed upon a letter of intent with Boston-based real estate firm Eden Properties to reestablish the Allston Post Office in a new location on Harvard Avenue in the Allston neighborhood of Boston.
The Allston Post Office was closed in 2019 when the building that previously housed the Post Office was found to have structural issues. For the past four years, the approximately 77,000 residents of Allston and Brighton have been served by the Brighton Post Office Branch in Brighton Center.
In 2021, the former Allston Post Office site was purchased by real estate firm Eden Properties. Eden Properties has proposed to redevelop this site as a mixed-use residential project, referred to as the ‘25-39 Harvard Avenue’ project, currently under review by the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA).
As part of the site’s redevelopment, Eden Properties has worked with the USPS to reestablish the Allston Post Office Branch in retail space situated on the ground floor of its proposed development. A significant milestone in negotiations was reached last week when the USPS agreed upon a letter of intent to occupy approximately 1,500 SF of ground-floor retail space in this development and reestablish the Allston Post Office in this location.
“I was delighted to learn of this important step in the reestablishment of the Allston Post Office,” said District 9 City Councilor Liz Breadon. “Allston’s immigrant communities, small business owners, and elderly population rely on the services that the Post Office provides. I am in strong support of the reopening of the Allston Post Office and look forward to input from community members and leaders in Allston as BPDA review of this project nears completion.”
“The Allston post office is a vital resource for our residents and local businesses that provides many essential services to our community in addition to mail,” said State Representative Kevin Honan. “Through planning, partnerships, and neighborhood involvement, Allston will once again have a convenient location.”
"Neighborhood staples like this post office are so crucial to the quality of life for our residents, and I’m pleased to see this commitment from the developer,” said Majority Leader Michael Moran. ‘I’m grateful for the advocacy of my colleagues and look forward to further planning as we see this project come to life.”
The 25-39 Harvard Avenue project must complete Article 80 review with the BPDA and additional review by the USPS is required to finalize the location.
