Marana, Arizona Post Office Designated the 'Mayor Ed Honea Memorial Post Office'

If you live in Marana, Arizona, or just send mail from the area, here’s a quick update on a very local, very specific piece of legislation. This bill is about recognizing a community figure by renaming a federal facility.

What’s Changing: The New Address

This legislation officially designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 13355 North Lon Adams Road in Marana, Arizona, as the “Mayor Ed Honea Memorial Post Office.” That’s it. It’s a commemorative measure that honors the late Mayor Ed Honea.

For the average person, this means that if you look up the post office on Lon Adams Road, its official name will change. The bill also mandates that any future official federal reference—whether in maps, regulations, or legal documents—must use this new name. This is a common practice when Congress seeks to honor local figures by naming federal assets after them.

Real-World Impact: Minimal Logistics, Maximum Recognition

Let’s be honest: this isn't going to change your postage rates, how long it takes to get a package, or the hours of operation. The impact here is purely administrative and symbolic. The post office is still the post office; it just has a new, official designation. If you’re a local business owner or resident, you might see the name change on signage or in local directories, but the zip code and physical location remain the same. The bill is clear and specific (Level of Vagueness: Low), focusing only on the renaming of this single facility. It’s a straightforward move to cement the legacy of a former mayor within the community he served.
