A note from Terry Weidman of the Zanesville Post Office. Lobby hours are Monday through Friday, 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Our post office building has been standing for 25 years. Time has worn on the structure and it is long over due for some TLC. You will be happy to know that it has been approved for the interior walls to be painted and the flooring to be replaced. There are other repairs that have been submitted and will add to the functionality of the post office in the months to come. With these improvements there will inevitably be a few days where the post office will be closed in order to get these improvements accomplished. I thank you in advance for your patience once the demolition begins.
