Local Post Office Closes For Good

The Postal Service’s Lynchburg distribution center is scheduled to close down for good today. Last Saturday, the last of the Lynchburg equipment was moved into the Roanoke plant – to accommodate the extra one-million pieces of mail it will receive from Lynchburg. Postal workers tell WDBJ-7 they’ve heard that Roanoke facility might close this summer instead of next. The eventual plan is to have everything consolidated in Greensboro as a cost-saving measure.
