The Downtown Fort Myers U.S. Post Office is closed, and no official reopening date exists. City officials say it’s all due to flooding from Hurricane Helene, and it’s not the first time.

Many residetns pulled up to the building to check their boxes, drop off packages, and noticed that it was closed. They were very frustrated and left.
The Fort Myers Mayor Kevin Anderson told FOX4 that post-Ian, the post office was closed for nearly 18 months.
Back then, he says he contacted the postal service and proposed helping them relocate to an area less likely to flood.
Mayor Anderson says they passed on the proposal, but here we are again.
“I’ve already reached out to Senator Scott’s office and said, please, any assistance you can give me on trying to get the post office to look at relocating so this doesn’t occur again, and we’ll see where it where it takes us,” says Anderson.
The mayor also said this office being closed is an inconvenience to locals and businesses.
