Within the

next two years, Tyrone residents should see a new post office sprouting

up in town.

Tyrone officials

got the lowdown on the project from U.S. Postal Service officials Thursday

night during the Town Council meeting.

Postal officials

said the want to stay within the town limits and are looking for a two-

to three-acre site.

The building

would be approximately 8,300 square feet and feature 77 parking spaces,

compared to the current 30.

Officials are

asking any residents who have a suitable tract of land to either contact

postal workers in Tyrone or get a copy of the bid specifications from

Town Hall.

The Post Office

plans to keep residents and town leaders updated during the whole bid

process and hope to be in the new office in two years.
