Fairfax USPS Facility Gets New Name: Honoring Congressman Gerald E. Connolly

This bill is short, sweet, and strictly ceremonial. It officially renames the United States Postal Service facility located at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building." That’s the whole ballgame. The legislation mandates that every current and future federal document or reference to that specific location must use this new name. If you live in Fairfax, this is the post office where you drop off your packages and pick up your mail.

The Administrative Shift

For the vast majority of us, this change means exactly zero difference in our daily lives. Your mail service isn't changing, the hours aren't changing, and the cost of a stamp certainly isn't changing because of this bill. It’s a pure administrative update. Think of it like swapping out the nameplate on an office door. The job the person does stays the same, but the official title changes.

What It Means for the Feds (and Your GPS)

Under Section 1, the immediate impact is on federal record-keeping. The USPS, the General Services Administration (GSA), and any other federal agency that references this address will need to update their internal systems, maps, and official documents to reflect the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building." For the rest of us, if you use a mapping app or a GPS to find the 10660 Page Avenue location, the official name on the building will eventually be updated. This kind of bill is standard practice when Congress decides to honor a public servant by naming a federal facility after them. It’s a nominal change that keeps the postal service running exactly as it did before the bill was introduced.
