BUDA, TX—The public is cordially invited to attend the grand opening and dedication ceremony for the new Buda Post Office, on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The dedication ceremony will begin at 1 p.m.

Located at 1320 Cabela's Dr., the 3,500-square-foot building is situated on approximately 3.5 acres.

The new Post Office has 1,208 PO boxes, compared to 1,164 at the old Post Office. The new Post Office is located about one mile from the old Post Office.

"The move is necessary because of significant population growth since the current Post Office was completed," said Buda Postmaster Frank Cadena.
