Since January 2021, Spanish Fort has been without a post office, requiring residents to travel along busy and oft-congested U.S. 98 to get to nearby Daphne and the nearest post office.
McMillan said he hopes the meeting illustrates to the postal service the need to place a post office in Spanish Fort.Spanish Fort, Ala., grew by 47.8% between 2010 and 2020, and continues to grow to the point where city officials want to see a post office restored. .
According to Census figures, Spanish Fort’s population grew 48% during the last decade, and the growth has continued at nearly 6% since the 2020 Census. It has been an uphill battle for Spanish Fort to get a physical postal presence within the city. While postal delivery continues, the city’s old post office has since been repurposed into a cigar shop. The 700 occupied P.O. boxes inside the Spanish Fort facility were transferred to Daphne.
The closure was part of a trend by the USPS to reduce the number of contract post units throughout the country, from 2,200 in fiscal year 2019 to 1,820 in fiscal year 2021, or a drop of 202 contract postal units in two years. The USPS operates a fiscal year from October 1 to September 30. Spanish Fort Mayor Mike McMillan talks about the I-10 Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project following an Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in Fairhope, Ala. .
McMillan also said he was worried over the lack of timely mailing of public notices about important meetings. He said last fall that there had been times in which public notices about a city planning commission meeting would arrive to residents after the meeting had concluded.
