ST. PAUL-The US Postal Service says it is willing to sell its 500,000-sf Downtown post office on 12 riverfront acres and move its operations to Eagan to make room for a new transit hub at the old Union Depot across the street.

The Postal Service plans to sell the building at 180 E. Kellogg Blvd. and move to an expanded facility in Eagan, a suburb southwest of St. Paul. The news was disclosed in a letter sent Monday by deputy postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to US Rep. Betty McCollum.
