This bill designates the United States Postal Service facility at 201 East Grant Avenue in Georgetown, Ohio, as the "Ulysses S.

Grant Post Office Building." It directs that any federal references to that facility use the new name.

The measure is an honorary renaming and does not appropriate funds or change USPS operations.
