Announced the lease extension that keeps the Fields Corner branch open; says a long-term lease still must be finalized

The Fields Corner post office will stay open at 218 Adams St. after USPS secured a lease extension announced Oct. 23, three days before the branch was to shut. The extension runs through April 27, 2027, and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services says the city hopes to secure a long-term lease. City Councillor John FitzGerald credited Senator Ed Markey's office and the developer and attorney at the O'Hearn Building with bringing the parties together.
