More than a year since it was battered by catastrophic flooding, Montpelier has its post office back.

The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday that the new full-service facility is open for business at 89 Main St. The announcement comes 455 days after the July 2023 floods that rendered the city’s original State Street post office building uninhabitable.

And the reopening comes less than a week after Vermont’s congressional delegation sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding a specific date for a Montpelier reopening. Vermont Attorney General Charity R. Clark sent her own letter to DeJoy, saying her office was aware of the postal service’s “legal obligations” when it came to relocating a post office following a natural disaster.
