Washington,
April 27, 2007
Today, Rep. Henry Cuellar joined local officials at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Post Office in Schertz, Texas. Construction on the Post Office will begin in October 2007 and is expected to conclude by November 2008. “I have worked very closely with the city of Schertz to help make the construction of a new Post Office a reality. The need for a new Post Office is a positive sign of the growth and progress in Schertz, so I am very proud to be a part of the project,” said Cuellar. The current postal building was constructed in 1962 and will be replaced by a state of the art, full-service facility with three service windows. The Post Office will be approximately 8,000 square feet and sit on a 5.3-acre tract next to the Guadalupe County Office Building. The grove of pecan trees located on the site will be incorporated into the landscape design in front of the Post Office, creating a picturesque setting. “I am very pleased that the United States Postal Service has seen that the City of Schertz deserves a new Post Office. I would like to extend my gratitude to Congressman Cuellar for his efforts in helping us achieve our goal,” said Schertz Mayor Hal Baldwin. “I would like to thank Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Mayor Baldwin for their hard work in bringing this project to fruition. The construction of the new Post Office is a fine example of how collaboration amongst all levels of government can provide the services and resources needed in Schertz,” said Cuellar. “Improving the communities of South Texas is important to maintaining and building our local economies. By constantly working to better the towns in Texas’ 28th District, we create benefits for current residents and future generations of Texans,” said Cuellar.
