USPS Closing Down 45 Massachusetts Post Offices

BOSTON - The U.S. Postal Service is set to close thousands of Post Offices due to cut costs. Nearly 50 of them could be in Massachusetts.

2,000 Post Offices will be shut down beginning next March.

According to the USPS, another 16,000 (half of the country's Post Offices) are under review because they are running up deficits. The USPS wants to close the least profitable offices but would need Congressional approval.

This would mean shutting down 45 Massachusetts Post Offices. Below are the ones that could be closed:
