Mesothelioma and Asbestos

A recently closed post office in Port Byron, Illinois, has greater problems than a leaky ceiling. Service at the post office was suspended in January because the leaking roof was creating a hazard for the workers. In addition to the leaky ceiling, there are cracks in the asbestos tile floors, a crumbling retaining wall as well as a likely mold problem.

Since the post office has been closed, customers possess had to drive approximately six miles to access services as well as post office boxes. Repairs to the building possess been deemed too costly to consider as well as the remaining options include moving into a recent building, moving into the aged post office incase repairs are made, or ceasing service in the town of Port Byron. There are several viable options for continuing postal service in the town. One of three local buildings could become a recent home for the post office, or an area resident may purchase the aged building as well as total repairs.
