Napa Mail Carriers & Emergency Volunteers Move To New Locations After Earthquake

Napa mail carriers today moved into a 50,000-square-foot building in Napa, the U.S. Postal Service announced today.

The mail carriers had been working in the rear parking lot of the Main Post Office on Trancas Street in Napa since the 6.0-magnitude earthquake on Aug. 24.

They reported today to Building #3 at 2751 Napa Valley Corporate Drive in Napa.

There is a two-month lease at the facility with an option for a third month, U.S. Postal Service spokesman Augustine Ruiz said.
