The Honorable John Schmitt
Mayor of Shakopee
129 South Holmes Street
Shakopee MN 55379-1351
Dear Mayor Schmitt:
The Postal Service has determined that the present postal facility located at 135 Sommerville
Street South is inadequate to serve the future postal needs of Shakopee. We need to
expand operations to enhance both the quality of postal services we provide to your
community and our employees' working conditions. After consulting with the Shakopee
Postmaster, we find that we need, ideally, approximately 18,576 square feet of space for our
carrier operation. The existing Main Post Office will be retained and remodeled for retail
operations.
To meet these new requirements, our first consideration is to expand the existing postal
facility. If this is not feasible, we will then consider an existing building remodeled to Postal
specifications or construct a new building on a site that is, approximately 128,087 square feet.

ThePostalLService wishes to work in partnership with your community. Therefore, we ask
your assistance and cooperation in having this project scheduled for the next available town
meeting so that the general public may express its opinions and offer constructive comments
on the project.
We welcome your timely suggestions and comments, both as we initiate this project and as it
proceeds. Please address any questions, suggestions, or concerns to:
