A man walks by a row of U.S. Postal Service mailboxes on his way to the post office, Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020, in Portland, Maine.

After a two-year closure, the Etna post office has reopened, according to Rep. Jared Golden.

The post office closed after structural issues in 2021, and although a new facility was completed in 2022, it did not reopen until this month.

Golden has pushed for more information on the process after residents reached out, and has called for more transparency and accountability.
