26 NY Post Offices Could Close Under USPS Review Process

The United States Postal Service announced on Friday it is still considering closing 26 post offices in New York state and city as it continues its review process to increase efficiency initiatives and reduce over-capacity in retail and delivery operations.

“Today’s announcement is part of the Station and Branch Optimization and Consolidation initiative that is currently being reviewed by the Postal Regulatory Commission. As part of this proceeding, the Postal Service has filed periodic updates identifying the retail stations and branches that remain under consideration.

The filing does not represent a final decision on consolidation. To date, no facility-specific final decisions have been made as a result of this initiative.”
