Congressman Keith Self Announces Major Upgrades to Melissa's Post Office

Congressman Keith Self applauds improvements to the Melissa Post Office campus. The recent progress constitutes a major milestone in the delayed upgrades to working conditions for postal employees.

“The harsh work environment exposed postal workers to extreme temperatures ranging from near zero in the winter to 108 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer, with little more than plastic tents for shelter that often exacerbated the heat,” said Congressman Keith Self. “Thanks to constituent awareness, media attention, help from my staff and a quick response to my request for assistance by the Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, improvements are underway.”

Despite difficult working conditions, Melissa’s postal workers continued striving to provide their community with reliable mail delivery. The improvements to the parking lot and facilities will be a huge relief for the employees and enhance processing of constituent mail and packages. The Postmaster General’s prompt attention to this matter was a key component to making this happen quickly.
