Sen. Carper Statement on U.S. Postal Service’s Processing and Distribution Center at Hares Corner

“The news that we heard today from leadership at the U.S. Postal Service’s Processing and Distribution Center at Hares Corner is certainly welcome, and I share the feeling of relief with the hundreds of Hares Corner employees and the thousands of Postal Service customers in Delaware who depend on this facility. When it was announced late last year that the Hares Corner processing center was under review for consolidation, I took the notification seriously and my staff and I fully engaged, along with our Congressional delegation, in the Postal Service’s official review process and encouraged the Hares Corner employees and customers to do so, as well. After speaking and meeting with Hares Corner employees and Postal customers – both business and residential – and researching extensively the impact of the consolidation and potential alternatives, I felt confident that we were able to make the case that it did not make sense to close Delaware’s only mail processing and distribution center – for both the Postal Service and for Delaware and the surrounding region
