Sen. Collins’ Statement on USPS Consolidation

“This evening, postal workers received notices that the Postal Service is proceeding with its ill-conceived plan to close the Hampden processing facility, despite its being essential to serving the businesses and residents of Northern, Eastern, and Central Maine.

“This plan makes no sense at all and should be abandoned.

“The closure of this plant would lead to job losses and lengthy delivery delays that will drive still more postal customers to use electronic mail or to seek other alternative means of delivery.
