GORDON, WI -- The post office in Gordon, Wisconsin won’t be closing after all.

Two weeks ago, the United State Post Office originally announced the Gordon location would be shutting down by November 9.

They blamed the closure on the loss of their current building lease.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, also sent a letter to the USPS encouraging them to find a way to stay open.
