Post Office Non-Update Update

The news is  more of the same for the U.S. Postal Service facility proposed for the southwest corner of Nicholson and College Avenues.

In other words, there is no news.

Oak Creek Patch has an update story here. From it:

As the economy went south in late 2008, the U.S. Postal Service suffered massive losses and the Oak Creek project stalled. 

To this day, it has never gotten back on track. The U.S. Postal Service owns the land (after purchasing it for $8.1 million, according to the South Milwaukee NOW), but it still has not decided if it will construct the facility.

“At this point it’s still on hold. No decisions have been made either way,” USPS Spokeswoman Marge Oehlke told me Tuesday. “We have seen billion-dollar losses in the last few years, and we are streamlining our operations and looking at ways of making ourselves more viable for the future.”

I will keep you posted on this if and when I learn more.

    Yes, Melanie, he did. He also presented Thomas More H.S. a check for $500,000 last year to be used as a scholarship fund.

    It’s too bad Oak Creek is losing the tax base for all that acreage.
