To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 300 Macedonia Lane in Knoxville, Tennessee, as the "Reverend Harold Middlebrook Post Office Building".
H.R. 1372 would officially designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 300 Macedonia Lane in Knoxville, Tennessee, as the “Reverend Harold Middlebrook Post Office Building.” The bill also requires that any reference to this facility in laws, maps, regulations, documents, or other records use the new name. This is a ceremonial naming change and does not include any funding, construction, or changes to postal operations or services. The bill was introduced in the House on February 14, 2025, by Representative Burchett with several co-sponsors and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration. In short, if enacted, the Knoxville post office facility would be officially renamed in law, and all official references would reflect that designation. The name honors an individual associated with the local community, but the bill does not alter how the USPS operates or allocates resources.
