Washoe County Opposes USPS Plan for Vassar Street Post Office

Feb 28, 2024 — by 775TimesTeam in 775Times, Articles

The Washoe County Board of Commissioners recently discussed the potential change in mail service at the Vassar Street Post Office They have directed staff to appeal the proposed conversion of the location into a Local Processing Center by the U.S. Postal Service. Concerns were raised about the impact of transferring outgoing mail processing to Sacramento, particularly the potential delays caused by inclement weather on Donner Summit. Commissioners fear that this change could lead to slower delivery of important mail, such as medications, bills, and other time-sensitive items. Commissioner Mike Clark highlighted the unintended consequences that could arise from moving the sorting center across state lines and over a major mountain pass. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the quality of postal service, especially as the community continues to grow. #washoecounty #nevada #sacramento #usps
