Rep. Sánchez helps bring big improvements to local Post Office
Paramount, CA - Today Rep. Linda Sánchez presented Postmaster Debra Pendleton and all the employees of the Paramount Post Office with an American flag which she had flown over the United States Capitol to commemorate the newly improved Paramount Post Office. Rep. Sánchez is responsible for prompting the United States Postal Service (USPS) to make much-needed renovations to the Paramount Post Office including a new parking lot, new passport services, and improved customer service.
“I am happy to see the stars and stripes fly over a proud local project,” said Rep. Linda Sánchez. “The new improvements make it a safer, faster, and more pleasant experience doing business at the Paramount Post Office.”
After receiving complaints from constituents about long lines, traffic problems and a report from an elderly woman who had fallen outside because of bumpy pavement, Rep. Sánchez worked to bring together the USPS and the City of Paramount and collaborate on an improvement project for the Paramount Post Office.
The new parking lot evolved from the cooperation of the USPS, Southern California Edison, and a local small business, ABC Nursery, which donated the land it was using for parking.
Rep. Sánchez also announced additional improvements to the Post Office:
* A new Passport Office, which will reduce waiting times in the main post office. It will also dispense money orders.
* The replacement of concrete in the parking lot and walkways for improved and safer access to the facility, especially for people with disabilities.
* Aesthetic improvements to the building and grounds, including new landscaping, fresh paint, and an artistic postal mural.
