Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Although a date is still to be determined, the brand new Dix Post Office will be opening in the not-to-distant future.
Final details are being completed by contractors before all new technical equipment is added, according to Kimball Postmaster Karen Miller, who manages the post offices in Potter, Dix and Bushnell.
The facility will have post office boxes and be open four hours a day on weekdays and for a limited time on Saturday.
The office will provide a full service experience for customers in Dix and the surrounding area.
Judy Petersen, who delivers mail for the community, will be staffing the new post office. "We are excited to get in there," Miller said. "It's pretty unusual for the postal service to reopen an office once it is closed. We feel very lucky to have a facility that is brand new."
