According to an article in USA Today, ten local post offices are being evaluated for possible closure by the Postal Service.
Most of those under review take in less than $27,500 a year and have only enough customers and mail to keep them busy two hours a day, Donahoe said.
Area offices being evaluated for closure are Assawoman, Craddockville, Harborton, Locustville, Sanford, Saxis and Withams in Accomack County and Marionville, Townsend and Willis Wharf in Northampton County.
The Postal Service will spend at least four months evaluating each post office. Anyone who objects to a closing has 60 days to submit comments to the Postal Service.
Proposals to close any of its estimated 31,000 post offices often meet strong resistance from communities and their representatives in Congress. In January, the Postal Service named 1,400 post offices it wanted to close; 280 are gone.
Many local post offices are among those which to limited business.

Post office in Sanford is on the left halfway through town. It is green and is decorated like a ducks unlimited building. It is very nicely maintained.
