U.S. Senator Steve Daines has written a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, urging the United States Postal Service (USPS) to maintain current operations in Missoula. In the letter, Daines expresses his concerns about the USPS Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR) of the Missoula Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC). He particularly emphasizes the potential negative impact of out-of-state mail routing and the possibility of job losses in Missoula.

Daines acknowledges the USPS's efforts to modernize and improve services but urges them to prioritize the maintenance of existing operations at the Missoula P&DC in any future plans. He believes that maintaining these operations is crucial to protecting jobs and improving mail service in the community.

In his letter, Daines states, "I write to express my concerns regarding the United State Postal Service's (USPS) current Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR) of the Missoula Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC). I have serious concerns about potential out of state mail routing as well as any possibility of job losses in Missoula. While I appreciate the efforts of the USPS to modernize and improve services, I urge you to maintain existing operations at the Missoula P&DC as part of any future plans."

Daines' letter highlights his commitment to ensuring that Montanans have access to USPS services. He has been actively working towards this goal, and more information about his efforts can be found on his official website.

The USPS plays a vital role in communities across the country, and it is essential to maintain reliable and efficient mail service. Daines' letter to Postmaster General DeJoy underscores the importance of keeping operations intact at the Missoula P&DC, safeguarding jobs, and improving mail service for the residents of Missoula.

The fate of the Missoula Processing & Distribution Center now rests with the USPS, and the impact of their decision will be felt by the community. As the USPS continues its review process, it is hoped that they will consider the concerns raised by Senator Daines and prioritize the needs of the Missoula community.
