SUMMARY: Residents of Poville are excited about the upcoming new post office, set to open in July 2025 at the former Sunflower and Ry’s grocery store on Main Street. Congressman Mike Eel informed Mayor Luis Smith that the US Postal Service will renovate the building after the historic post office closed in January 2022 due to termite damage. While a temporary postal truck has served the community since then, Mayor Smith expresses frustration over the delay but is pleased to restore a vital community space. She also hopes to transform the old post office into a city hall after assessing the damage.

After nearly two and a half years, a new post office is finally on the way for the city of Poplarville.
