Rock Valley, Iowa — After several months of alternative situations for the Rock Valley Post Office due to this past summer’s flooding, it has been announced that the facility is going to re-open this Friday.
Congressman Randy Feenstra of Hull says he made repeated requests to USPS leadership that the post office be reopened as quickly as possible.
Feenstra says, “This summer’s devastating floods hit Rock Valley particularly hard, leaving homes, schools, businesses, and other structures damaged and destroyed. While our neighbors worked quickly to get back to some semblance of normalcy, the post office was needlessly lagging behind. Iowans depend on the post office to pay their bills, get their medications, and send their mail in a timely manner, and the extended closure of the Rock Valley Post Office denied them of these services. I’m glad that – following repeated requests and a trip in December to see the post office myself – the post office is fully reopened, and my constituents can visit in person – as it should be.”
Officials say the office will open at 8:30 a.m.
They tell us it will take them a bit to get the mail sorted in Sioux Center, but it will all be brought over to the post office in Rock Valley – and will be worked into the PO Box section at the office. Customers will need to bring their CBU keys in with them and pick up their new keys for their mailboxes. All services will be reactivated on Saturday.
