JRS 41 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint resolution requesting that the U. S. Postal Service reestablish, as rapidly as possible, a full-service U.S. Post Office in downtown Montpelier

This joint resolution asks the U.S. Postal Service to reopen a full-service post office in downtown Montpelier, Vermont, as quickly as possible. The bill is sponsored by state legislators and directed to the U.S. President and Postmaster General, with copies sent to Vermont's federal representatives. It highlights that the post office has served the city since 1798 and notes that temporary arrangements after a 2023 flood were inadequate due to poor location and lack of basic utilities. The resolution emphasizes the importance of this service for residents, businesses, and government offices in the state capital.
