Speak Out Today About Possible Cutbacks Or Closure At McDavid Post Office
January 16, 2014
A public meeting this afternoon will address the future of the McDavid Post office, which has been targeted by the U.S. Postal Service for cutbacks or possibly even closure.
As NorthEscambia.com first reported in December, residents and businesses in the 32568 zip code were notified that the Postal Service will take future action regarding the McDavid Post Office. Possibilities include:
- Keep the office open, with window hours cut from 8 hours per day to six hours with those weekday hours realigned to match workload.
- Look at closing the office, providing only roadside mailbox delivery. Retail and delivery service would be provided through a rural carrier, with customers able to purchase most postal services from their carrier or alternative access points.
- Close the office and find a contract post office location, usually a local business. This contract location would provide post office boxes and most retail services.
- Close the office and relocate post office box service to a nearby post office.
The Postal Service will hold a public meeting concerning the McDavid Post Office this afternoon at 5:00 at the McDavid United Methodist Church at 2 Main Street in McDavid. No decision concerning the McDavid post office will be made until after the public meeting.
The McDavid Post Office is the only local office in Escambia or Santa Rosa counties on the current closure or cutback list.

I am so aggravated, with this change,, 2 of my packages have either been lost or misplaced since the beginning of this closure,
Of course my mistake, I did not get a tracking number, BUT did not need it before on 8 x 10 envelopes. My rant for the day will take my packages to Atmore.
