Utah Town's New Post Office Will Not Open Before Election

A Utah town is planning to replace the post office it lost earlier this year after its operators could not overcome their debt, but the effort is not expected to provide service before the national general election next month. 

The Spectrum reported the Torrey Post Office closed at the start of the year after the owners failed to renegotiate a contract with the U.S. Postal Service. Torrey obtained a loan to establish a new office, but construction will not be complete until at least Nov. 1 and the office is not expected to be fully functional until Nov. 14.
