Olean Post Office Makes Closure List

The post office in Olean is on the list of almost 3,700 across the nation that are being targeted for closure. The Olean post office at 252 Main Street made the list of 3,654 post offices that could be closed in the largest downsizing in the U.S.Postal Services history. Before a decision is made on closing the Olean post office, it will be evaluated based on the amount of revenue it brings in, the amount of hours its employees work, and how close it is to other post offices. Some post offices that are closed will be replaced with a village post office, where the office is replaced by a postal clerk that works in a gas station, local store, library or town hall.
