While the cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service announced earlier this week their plans to eliminate more than 250 processing centers and lay off nearly 30,000 workers, Boonville Postmaster Eddie Hudson remains fairly unconcerned.
According to Hudson and Gateway District spokesperson Valerie Welch, Boonville has remained off the Postal Service's radar in terms of possible closures.
"Boonville has not been a part of the feasibility studies as far as closure so far," Welch said. "Now, I can't say what will happen a year or two down the road though."
Hudson said he even currently has two job vacancies for rural carrier associates.
"We're OK here," he said. "I still need people and still have the positions."
Welch was under the impression that those positions were to be held for current postal workers who may have otherwise lost their jobs in closures elsewhere, but was unable to confirm that.
