Post Office grand opening and its new Postmaster
Jamestown, NY, had a double celebration recently — the grand opening of a new Post Office coupled with a Postmaster installation.
The new Post Office is located in the 87,000-square-foot building that once housed the old Jamestown, NY, Post Office. USPS sold the building in 2012 and now is leasing a 16,000-square-foot-section where the new Post Office is located.
The grand opening celebration was highlighted by the swearing in of Teresa Brady, Jamestown’s 35th Postmaster.
“I’ve been very fortunate all of these years to get to where I am now,” said Brady, who began her career in Jamestown as a letter carrier 27 years ago.
Post Office Operations Manager Tom Szklarz praised Brady’s achievement and said she was an example of Postal Service’s “commitment to our employees to bring them up through the ranks.”
Cutting the ribbon to officially open the Post Office, Brady said she was “looking forward to being able to serve the Jamestown community.”
It works 100% the same way the government works…spend a dollar to save a nickel!!! It is 100% control by the government so it is like the Banks….too big to fail!!!! Let’s watch how and when it dissolves into nothing !!!
spend spend spend THE USPS IS NOT BROKE.
They want 600,000 usps employees down graded to 8.00 an hr.
albany ny just got 5 million to make room for midhudson mail.
The midhudson plant is closing aprox 400 displaced workers. and you can bet every one in mgmt kept their jobs
Typical stupidity of Postal Service mismanagement and why it is a money loser, pay rent for a building they owned.
Spend a dollar to save a nickel.
It would…..but we’re talking about the Postal Service. Nothing they do makes sense.
Wouldn’t it had made better business sense to continue owing the building and leasing out 51,000 square feet and using the remaining 16,000 square feet. This would make maintaining the post office space without cost, while at the same time generating new revenue through the leases.
