Moving a post office can be a big undertaking. And the first thing you have to do is find a new site, and that is the process Minden is involved in now. Their post office has outgrown its current location along Hwy 395 across from CVI, so they’re looking for a new spot. And so far they’ve identified four possible locations. Two are on Monte Vista drive, which is out behind the Minden Medical Center, near Winhaven. A third site is an empty lot along County Road, and the fourth possibility would be to locate it in the new Minden Gateway center. I think the Gateway center makes the most sense; you want your post office located where it’s not too far out of the way. The Gateway center is poised to be the biggest retail development in town, if it lives up to all its expectations. Plus it’s in a great location, and seems to be a natural place for a post office.
