Congressman Al Green Requests Postmaster General Reconsider Plan to Relocate Historic Southmore Station Post Office

(Washington, DC)--On January 10, 2014, Congressman Al Green sent a letter to the Postmaster General asking for the US Postal Service to reconsider plans to relocate the historic Southmore Station Post Office, located at 4110 Almeda Rd. Houston, Texas 77004.  Congressman Al Green also requested a meeting with the Postmaster General to discuss this issue and related issues.

“I understand that the Postal Service has difficult decisions ahead of it due to financial problems that they continue to face," Congressman Al Green said. "However, I ask that the historic importance of this post office, where the first sit-in demonstration in Houston occurred in 1960, be considered to a greater extent along with other factors before any decision to close or relocate this post office is carried out.”
