Rural McDowell County will see most of its post offices impacted when cuts happen.
That's according to a report by USA Today. In a story, titled "Postal cuts hurt outposts the most," reporter Meghan Cooper says the U.S. Postal Service plans to cut hours at 42 percent of the service's more than 31,000 offices.
According to the report, McDowell County would be most impacted by cuts in hours. Cooper says that 13 post offices in McDowell County would drop to two hours a day, and another 14 would drop to four hours a day.
The postal cuts would impact states along the Appalachian Trail, including New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, and West Virginia.
"...Cutting back the hours for so many post offices is no small matter, and we need to examine the details of the plan and get a better understanding of its potential impact on mail delivery services and communities," said Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., in a press release in May.
"We ought not be shy about letting Postal officials know our views and getting our questions answered," he said.
