Plans for New Moravia Post Office by June 15 1960
Postmaster General Arthur E Summerfield announced a new Moravia post office to be built under the department's commercial leasing program with competitive bids. The one story brick and stone building will be 44 by 63 feet with a loading dock, across from Turner and Son, to replace the current facility when completed. Completion is slated for June 15 1960 and the site will include parking for postal patrons. The project aims to save 30 to 40 percent in long term costs versus government owned buildings.
