Ten Local Post Offices Being Studied For Closure

Can someone tell me where the post office is in Sanford??

According to an article in USA Today, ten local post offices are being evaluated for possible closure by the Postal Service.

The Postal Service is looking at about 3,700 post offices with low sales and few customers for possible elimination as early as January, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said Tuesday.


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.
