Cardwell post office might remain open
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service announced a new strategy last week that could keep the nation’s smallest post offices open for business while providing a framework to achieve significant cost savings as part of a plan to return the organization to financial stability.
The plan would keep many existing post offices in place but with modified retail window hours to match customer use. Access to the retail lobby and to post office boxes would remain unchanged, and the town’s zip code and community identity would remain intact.
The Cardwell post office would remain open under this new strategy, but its retail hours would be cut from eight hours a day to four hours a day.
“Meeting the needs of postal customers is, and will always be, a top priority,” said Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe. “We continue to balance that by better aligning service options with customer demand and reducing the cost to serve,” he said. “With that said, we’ve listened to our customers in rural America and we’ve heard them loud and clear — they want to keep their post offices open.”
The new strategy would be implemented over a two-year, multi-phased approach and would not be completed until September 2014. Once implementation is completed, the Postal Service estimates savings of a half billion dollars annually.
The Postal Service will provide an opportunity for the Postal Regulatory Commission to review this new plan prior to making any changes. The Postal Service intends to file a request for an advisory opinion on the plan with the PRC later this month. Community meetings would then be conducted to review options in greater detail. Communities will be notified by mail of the date, time and location of these meetings.
