Starting Friday, the Amsterdam Post Office will serve approximately 45 post office box customers from the Fort Johnson Post office, with a handout of mail service to individual customers.
An additional set of post office boxes will be installed in the Amsterdam postal lobby to accommodate impacted customers. Officials say that the postal service has decided to relocate services from its location at 5 East Main Street in Fort Johnson due to safety, health and environmental issues in the leased facility. Affected residents will continue to use their current Fort Johnson address including the zip code of 12070.
