MANCHIN STATEMENT ON CONTINUED EFFORTS TO KEEP WEST VIRGINIA’S POSTAL FACILITY IN THE STATE

On Saturday, Senator Manchin spoke with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the about the Mail Processing Facility Review of its Charleston Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) facility.  

“I had a productive call with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the Mail Processing Facility Review of its Charleston Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) facility. The South Charleston facility will not have one single employee laid off, and instead deliver major investments to the facility to better meet the demands of the public and the market. I will continue to work with Postmaster General DeJoy to ensure these improvements will modernize and revitalize this critical lifeline and bring the highest level of service for the people of West Virginia.”

Senator Manchin continues to encourage every West Virginian to submit comments to the USPS at the link below opposing changes to the West Virginia mail processing facility.
