Weigh in on Babcock Post Office Move

The U.S. Postal Service says Bozeman’s Babcock Station may move because the lease at 32 E. Babcock St. will not be renewed. (about.usps.com) USPS published the relocation notice on April 23, 2026, and identified the affected branch as the Bozeman-Babcock Station Post Office in ZIP code 59715. (about.usps.com) (tools.usps.com) The agency said it wants to lease an existing building of about 4,800 square feet with space for both retail operations and employees, plus at least 44 parking spaces. (about.usps.com) USPS said the new site must be as close as reasonably possible to the current branch, but it has not named a preferred replacement address. (about.usps.com) The immediate trigger is the lease, not a service shutdown. USPS said retail services will continue at the current Babcock location until the new site is ready. (about.usps.com) Residents and postal customers have 45 days from the notice to send comments to USPS about the proposed move. The mailing address listed is USPS, Attn Bozeman MT Babcock Station Relocation, P.O. Box 27497, Greensboro, North Carolina, 27498-1103. (about.usps.com) USPS identified Robb Groetzinger as the real estate specialist for the relocation notice. The agency said it will notify customers by postcard. (about.usps.com) Bozeman residents looking for the branch today will still find Babcock Station listed by USPS at 32 E. Babcock St., with weekday retail hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (tools.usps.com) The next step is not a city vote. It is a federal site search and public comment process that will determine where Babcock Station’s retail counter and staff go next. (about.usps.com)
