The Village of Scotia is known for its quaintness and small-town charm and the Scotia Branch Post Office provides an invaluable service to the residents of the Village as well as serving as a hub of the community. The Scotia Branch Post Office has been a community fixture since its beginning as a WPA project in the 1930s and has provided a valued and vital service to the community ever since.
Now, the branch is one of more than 700 nationwide that could face closure, consolidation or reduction of services by the United States Postal Service.
Last month, County Legislature Chairwoman Susan E. Savage and County Legislators Dr. Brian Gordon and Marty Finn sponsored a resolution strongly urging the United States Postal Service to reconsider its proposal to close or consolidate the Scotia Branch Post Office and asking Representative Paul Tonko, Senator Charles Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for their assistance in ensuring the Scotia Branch Post Office will remain open to serve the residents of the Village of Scotia.
Please join their effort to keep this postal branch open by signing this petition of support.
The response from our local representatives has been slow and I am exhausted by the constant bureaucracy. I am still putting together the formal documents to push back against these closures because we deserve to keep our branch open. We are not backing down just because the process is slow and painful.

The lines are always long as it is. Closing this branch will just create a nightmare somewhere else.

Please leave our post office alone. So tired of losing everything that makes this town a good place to live.

Total incompetence by the USPS. Think about the community for once instead of just the bottom line.

This is ridiculous. People actually walk to this office. Shutting it down hurts the elderly who cant drive to the next town over.

The postal service confirmed they are keeping our branch open. I am exhausted by this fight but I am grateful we held our ground together.
