The Town Hall Post Office has been an integral part of the Paradise Valley community for more than 60 years, and town leaders are asking the United States Postal Service (USPS) to keep it open. The USPS notified the Town earlier this month that it plans to close the branch at the end of September.
“Our Town post office pre-dates the current town hall and is a community hub for neighbors and friends,” Paradise Valley Mayor Mark Stanton said. “I have encouraged our state and federal legislative leaders to weigh in so we can reach a positive resolution that keeps the post office open.”
The Town received notice from USPS on June 2, 2025, that it intends to exercise the termination clause in the contract with no further explanation. The Town Council wants to preserve this important community hub and immediately reached out to regional USPS leadership. The Postal Service bears no expenses to maintain the location as the Town owns the building and pays for the supplies and personnel. This is the only postal location within the town limits.
“We let the Postal Service know there is no upside to closing our small branch, while it would eliminate an important service that is a part of the fabric of our community,” added Mayor Stanton. “We don’t have shopping malls, libraries or other public gathering spaces. People go to the post office, stop by and say hello to town employees and often strike up a conversation with a neighbor.”
In its letter, the USPS indicated the Paradise Valley Town Hall Post Office will close on Sept. 30, 2025.
