City of Maricopa issued the following announcement on July 20.
City of Maricopa was awarded a contract with the United States Postal Service to operate a Contract Postal Unit (CPU) inside the new Maricopa Library and Cultural Center (MLCC) at 18160 N. Maya Angelou Drive. Maricopa’s new postal service will be available upon the completion of construction modifications to accommodate the space, and is anticipated to open sometime in the early fall. Hours of operation for the postal service will be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The City of Maricopa CPU will offer stamps and products, domestic mail, international mail and special services, including insured mail, certified mail, signature confirmation service, registered mail, prepaid mail acceptance, USPS tracking and certificate of mailing.
MLCC is located in the geographic center of the City of Maricopa, adjacent to City Hall. The physical location is ideal for a CPU as it is surrounded by rapidly growing residential neighborhoods and is at the easily accessible intersection of White and Parker and Bowlin Roads. MLCC is an attractive location for postal customers with its ample parking, large atrium space, bright indoor and outdoor lighting, security cameras and wireless access throughout the facility.
Guest parking is free and plentiful with handicapped parking available just outside the east and south entrances to the building. Maricopa’s public transportation, The MET, makes frequent stops to MLCC.
The new City of Maricopa Contract Postal Unit will also create new part-time jobs.
“It’s no secret that our city is growing and that our current post office is packed - pun intended,” said Community Services Director Nathan Ullyot. “So credit to our local postal team and the USPS for pursuing and supporting this opportunity as a way to better serve our residents. We also look forward to seeing increased traffic at our beautiful new facility with these new services.”
