McEachin Statement on the East End Post Office in Church Hill

Richmond, Va. – Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) issued this statement on the status of the East End post office located in Church Hill:

“I am pleased to report that progress is being made on the East End post office in Church Hill. Mr. Bilder, the building owner, informed my team that repairs on the facility are virtually completed. Following the update, I reached out to representatives of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to request their official opening date for this critical post office location in the 4th Congressional District. I received this response to the inquiry:

‘At present, a timeframe for reopening of the East End Post Office has not been determined. The Postal Service is in the process of completing an assessment and review of repairs. The Postal Service regrets any inconvenience to its customers and will work to restore operations as soon as possible.’

“This response frustrated me because of the lack of specificity. I will continue to work with USPS to get the post office open and fully functioning as soon as possible. I remain committed to the need for a high-quality neighborhood post office in Church Hill.”

Background:
As promised, Congressman McEachin has stayed in contact with both the owner of the post office building in Church Hill and with representatives of the United States Postal Service.
