Postal officials continue to search for a permanent site for the New Canaan Post Office.
“We continue our commitment to the New Canaan community to provide a permanent Post Office in New Canaan,” USPS Connecticut Valley District Manager David Mastroianni said in a statement. “We appreciate the support we have received from town officials and our customers during this challenging transition.”
The old post office, which has been at 2 Pine St. for more than 50 years, shut down permanently on Saturday, Jan. 18. The lease ended Jan. 31.
Mrs. Green's Natural Market, an organic grocer, has signed a lease with Elm Street Partners to open a store in that prime downtown space.
