GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper wrote to USPS Postmaster General Dejoy on Monday to express concerns about the recent proposals to consolidate the Grand Junction Processing and Distribution Center.
We are concerned that USPS’s plan could impact local mail delivery when these delays occur, which is alarming when constituents already suffer from inconsistent and unreliable mail service.
Excerpt from letter to USPS Postmaster General
The USPS proposal would redirect mail processing from Grand Junction to Denver and require the USPS to transport outgoing mail over 500 miles round trip between Grand Junction and Denver for sorting; this includes mail originating from and going back to Grand Junction residents.
The letter is part of a continued effort by Sens. Hickenlooper and Bennet to resolve long-standing USPS mail delays and issues in Colorado.
