Tiffany Urges USPS to Reconsider Gordon Post Office Closure

WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy urging the United States Postal Service (USPS) to reconsider its decision to close the Gordon Post Office, located at 9725 E. County Road Y, Gordon, WI 54838. 
 
On October 17th, the USPS announced that it would be closing the Gordan Post Office “due to the loss of the current building lease.” As a result, the Gordon Post Office will be merging operations with the Solon Springs Post Office. This decision will require residents, including many senior citizens, to drive approximately 20 miles roundtrip to collect mail and conduct business with the postal service. Tiffany’s letter noted that, “Not only is this unacceptable, but it is unsafe during Wisconsin winters.”

“Efficient access to mail delivery by the USPS is important to all Americans, especially those living in rural communities,” said Congressman Tiffany. “The USPS must reconsider its decision and find a timely solution to the Gordan Post Office closure.”
