The Elrosa Post Office is in danger of being closed by the U.S. Postal Service. While it is no secret that the Postal Service in the United States is in financial trouble, it should also be no secret that the town of Elrosa is a bustling, vibrant small community in western Stearns County.
It defies logic to close the Post Office of a town that holds positive economic momentum and a recent influx of young families and residents. Over 25 businesses who operate in Elrosa would be severely impacted by the Post Office closure, not to mention the problems it would bring to all the residents in town and the rural area surrounding Elrosa.
All is not lost, however, as a public meeting is scheduled for next week where members of the public can voice their opinion on this matter. Please attend and show your support for Elrosa, next Tuesday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. (Located adjacent to the Fire Hall in the heart of town.)
U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, Congressman Collin Peterson, Senator Joe Gimse and Representative Paul Anderson have all been notified about this and are aware of the June 21 meeting.
Remember, the world belongs to those who show up and take control of their destinies, not to those who sit on the sidelines and complain from a distance.
