Storm damage makes building uninhabitable

Corinth, KY — The building housing the Corinth, Kentucky Post Office (41010) has been declared uninhabitable by Grant County Building Inspectors.  Space in the building at 212 Main Street in Corinth is leased by the Postal Service.

There will be no interruption in service to customers who receive delivery at their homes.   Any customer receiving a notice for a parcel or mail requiring a signature may call for the mail at the Williamstown Post Office, 205 North Main Street in Williamstown 41097.  The Williamstown Post Office retail window is open from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday – Friday; 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Postal officials have arranged for space within the Corinth City Hall, 215 Thomas Avenue, to accommodate customers renting Post Office boxes and are currently making arrangements for free-standing boxes to be installed at that location.   There are over 250 boxholders at this time.

Beginning Wednesday, September 17, Corinth Postmaster Darlene Adams will be at City Hall from 11:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. with all P.O. Box mail.  Customers picking up mail should be prepared to show picture ID.  Postmaster Adams will continue this service until the boxes are installed at City Hall.  Any customers unable to pick up mail during this time span may call for it at Williamstown beginning at 2:30 p.m.

The blue collection box (for outgoing mail) in front of the Corinth Post Office is not in service (Any mail already deposited in that box has been retrieved by the Post Office.)  Postal officials will be relocating a collection box to a site near City Hall.  In the interim, customers are directed to the box at Noble’s Truck Stop on Rte. 330 at I-75.
