Looking for a sign that the U.S. Postal Service is busy trying to save money as its mail volume plummets further? Consider that, according to the Hartford Courant, up to 150 small neighborhood post offices could close in Connecticut this fall as part of a cost-cutting plans by the USPS.
Maureen Marion, Connecticut’s postal service spokeswoman, told the Courant that USPS officials are researching state facilities with an emphasis on cities and towns that have both large and small facilities.
There are about 400 postal facilities in Connecticut, about 150 of which are considered branch offices.
