Daines Applauds USPS Plan to Maintain and Support Operations in Missoula

USPS Announcement Comes After Daines’ Push to Protect Jobs, Service in Montana

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines applauded the decision by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to invest in operations at the Missoula Processing & Distribution Center. The decision comes after Daines sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy expressing concern about the possible relocation of the Missoula center to Spokane, which would have caused service disruptions and job losses for Montanans.

“This is a win for Montanans. Many people in our state rely on the Postal Service for critical things like prescription medicine and benefits checks, and the Missoula facility provides jobs and an economic boost to the community. I applaud USPS for heeding Montanans’ concerns and investing in our state,” said Daines.
