Buffalo Post Office to Be Renamed the 'William J. Donovan Post Office Building'
This bill officially designates the U.S. Postal Service facility located at 1200 William Street, Room 200, in Buffalo, New York, as the "William J. Donovan Post Office Building." Basically, it's a name change for a specific post office.
Making it Official
The main action here is the renaming. Any reference in law, regulation, map, document, paper, or other U.S. record to this facility will now legally call it the William J. Donovan Post Office Building. (SEC. 1)
Real-World Ripple
For most people, this won't change much, you will just see a new name on the building, but it does mean all official records will be updated to reflect the new name. This is more of a symbolic move to honor William J. Donovan. Think of it as an official, permanent tip of the hat to someone deemed important to the area.
While it doesn't shift your daily routine, renaming public buildings can matter to local communities. It's a way of recognizing history and marking contributions, which can be a big deal for the folks in Buffalo and for Donovan's family and descendants.
