POST OFFICE:
Work has begun on the new downtown Pensacola post office. It’s at the site of the old Sluggo’s and Napoleon Bakery on South Jefferson Street. The renovations are expected to take about six months, according to my sources.
The Post Office moved from its Palafox location on April 26, 2024. The post office boxes were relocated to the East Hill Station, 3001 North Davis Highway.
