The U.S. Postal Service announced Friday its decision to proceed with its proposal to relocate the retail services of the Kailua-Kona Post Office, located at 74-5577 Palani St., to a new facility 0.3 miles away at the Niumalu Marketplace, located at 75-971 Henry St. A specific date for the relocation has not yet been determined. Retail services will continue at the current Kailua-Kona Post Office on Palani Street until the replacement facility is open and operating as a post office, so there will be no interruption of service.

“The purpose of this relocation, which will include PO Box services, is to provide better access to retail services for Kailua-Kona customers and increased space for the Kailua-Kona Post Office’s expanding retail operations,” USPS said in the announcement.
The new facility will provide the same level of retail service as the current facility, according to USPS.
The Palani Street facility will be retained as an annex for behind-the-scenes mail carrier operations only.
