The Crothersville Post Office has apparently escaped any curtailment of operating hours, according to Postmaster Carolyn King.
“We were not on any list for cutting back our hours,” said King. “So far we are not impacted. At lease for the time being.”
The USPS opted to cut the operating hours of 12,980 rural post offices nationwide in an effort to slash expenses.
The aim is to save a half billion dollars annually for the financially beleagured mail delivery service while avoiding post office closured as initially proposed.
Window hours at affected post offices would be cut but lobby hours and access to customer post office boxes would not be affected.
