Blumenthal and Larson Support Unity Plaza Post Office

Encourage Public to Attend Hearing Tonight at Chapelle Gardens Community Center

HARTFORD – Tonight representatives from the offices of Senator Richard Blumenthal and Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01) will participate in a public forum on the future of the Unity Plaza post office in the North End of Hartford.

Since that announcement, the lawmakers have written a formal letter to United States Postmaster Judith Martin urging support for the facility calling it's presence an "anchor" for local businesses.

The forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight at the Chapelle Gardens Community Center on Garden Street. It is open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend.
