WEST PARK, NY – Today, Congressman Pat Ryan is joining the West Park community to oppose the closure of their post office and is encouraging residents to sign his office’s petition, which will be delivered to the Postmaster General.
When residents received abrupt notice that their post office would be closing in less than a month, with no information or timeline for resumption of services provided, Ryan immediately wrote to USPS demanding the decision be reversed. Ryan has successfully fought to restore services at multiple Hudson Valley post offices when they faced similar challenges.
Members of the West Park community are encouraged to sign this petition, voicing their opposition to the closure of their post office.
“For many communities in the Hudson Valley, the U.S. Postal Service is a lifeline. That’s especially the case in West Park where it’s one of the few meeting places in town. We cannot allow USPS to rip the rug out from under our neighbors – that’s why we’re fighting back, starting with this petition,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “Over the past week, I’ve heard from seniors concerned about where to pick up their medication, small business owners who rely on the shipping services, and most of all from neighbors, worried about losing this center of their community. USPS owes the Hudson Valley better, and our community is ready to rally in force to save the West Park post office and ensure our neighbors don’t get left behind.”
Members of the West Park community are encouraged to sign this petition, voicing their opposition to the closure of their post office.
