A post office in downtown Sacramento may be relocated as the landlord of the property will not renew the lease, the United States Postal Service said.

The Postal Service is considering relocating the services provided at the Sacramento Metro Retail Station , and is trying to find a new facility close to the still-existing location at 660 J St., Suite 170, according to a news release.

Once a new facility is acquired it will be prepared for use as a post office, and the Postal Service will transition the retail services to the new location. Services will continue at the J Street office until a new post office is established, according to the news release.

Proposed post office relocation cards will be mailed to the public to give written input on the proposed new location, with an address where community members can send their comments for a 45-day period, according to the Postal Service.
