Ogden Town Station Will Not Be Consolidated

SALT LAKE CITY—Postal officials announced today that the Ogden Town Station, located at 2730 Washington Blvd., is no longer being considered for consolidation.

“We looked at the information gathered and determined that we would not pursue this consolidation,” said USPS District Manager, Customer Relations Robert Vunder.

The studies considered many things, including impacts to customer access, employees, cost savings, and service standards, along with reviews of the availability of alternate retail services, facility space, and other operational items.

“Our commitment to customer service is paramount,” said Vunder. “We will continue to provide the dependable service our customers need. We also will keep a balance with our critical focus on reducing costs so that service is not diminished.”

While the Ogden Town Station will remain open, postal officials say it doesn’t preclude future studies from taking place.
