OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Post offices in Nebraska cities large and small have been added to the list of offices, branches and stations being studied for possible closing.
The U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday that it is considering
closing 90 Nebraska facilities among the nearly 3,700 being considered nationwide.
The service says many of the offices could be replaced by
so-called village post offices. Those are locations offering
limited postal services in local stores, libraries or government
offices.
On the list of 90 Nebraska outlets to be studied for closure are
two in Omaha. The rest are in villages and small cities that
usually have just one post office. The towns include Lakeside in
western Nebraska’s Panhandle, Newport in north-central Nebraska’s
Rock County and Douglas in southeast Nebraska’s Otoe County.
