Lakewood Ranch’s new post office is nearing completion

Lakewood Ranch’s new post office is nearing completion, with an opening set for late October or early September.

Residents have asked for a post office for many years, and it’s been in the works for a long time.

The Lakewood Ranch post office will cut the driving distance for residents whose closest postal facility is either at Creekwood Crossing or the Braden River Post Office on State Road 70.

The 20,000-square-foot post office, on the northeast corner of SR 70 and Lorraine Road, is at the geographic center of entire planned Lakewood Ranch.
