Residents of Niland, a small town in rural northern Imperial County, have been cut off from daily access to the mail since their post office burned down in early 2022.
Anna Garcia sits for a portrait at the Buckshot Diner in Niland on April 29. Garcia is a leader of the community advocacy group NorthEnd Alliance 111, which is fighting to bring the Niland Post Office back to the town.
The Postal Service has provided intermittent service by sending a mail truck from the neighboring town of Calipatria three days a week. But the lawmakers pointed out that the vehicle often experiences mechanical issues. Community leaders said it has broken down two or three times just this month.Community members said they were grateful for the letter, but want to see those same lawmakers follow up by taking a closer hand in the Postal Service’s efforts to secure a new post office location.
The lawmakers noted those delays in their letter and encouraged USPS to begin looking for other potential properties in case they are unable to reach a final agreement with the district.
