Congressman DeSaulnier Announces Nevin Avenue Post Office Sale Halted

Richmond, CA – Today, Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11) announced that efforts by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to relocate retail operations and sell the Nevin Avenue Post Office in Richmond, California have been halted.

"After discussing the potential closure with the U.S. Postmaster General, holding multiple meetings with federal postal administrators, community leaders, and the community we are pleased to announce that the Nevin Avenue Post Office will remain open and operational. We will continue our efforts to rename it after a distinguished and dedicated civil servant, who worked in the Richmond Post Office for 45 years, Harold D. McCraw, Sr.," said Congressman DeSaulnier.

Since the plan to sell the Post Office was announced, Congressman DeSaulnier has been actively working to save the Post Office building, including by writing to the USPS urging them to reconsider, issuing public comment, and working with the Mayor and the City of Richmond to explore the purchase of the Post Office to keep it in public use.
