“The Quaker Street Post Office in the town of Duanesburg may be closed and its operations consolidated with nearby post offices, a U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman said today.
“This is the beginning of a process to determine what to do with the facility,” said spokeswoman Maureen Marion.
The postal service will hold a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at the Quaker Street Fire Station to discuss the office’s future, Marion said.
The Quaker Street Post Office is under contract with a vendor and is open two hours a day. Should the postal service close it, residents of the 12141 ZIP code would be able to obtain services at post offices on Railroad Avenue and Duanesburg Road, Marion said.
The postal service is looking to reduce a $2.8 billion deficit. Over the past year, it cut 41,000 jobs through attrition and now has a hiring freeze.”
