What Should Go Into the Post Office Building?
Visions for Vacancies: A post office is always a gathering place in a downtown. With the Third Street post office property for sale, what should go there next?
Joe Stanton had a vision for filling the vacancy of the downtown Geneva post office, at 26 S. Third St.
Back in 2010, the Geneva businessman and this year's had an interesting proposal to do an adaptive re-use of the building that would have allowed the post office to remain at its present site.
was to keep the post office entrance on Third Street and create a new building entrance to the left of the current main entrance as you face the building, a change that would have provided room for two additional tenants in a lower basement area.

What do you think? Should the post office stay a post office? Is there possibly a better use? If so, what would it be?
