Description: This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1233 North Cedar Street in Owasso, Oklahoma, as the Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office Building.
Sponsors: Rep. Hern, Kevin [R-OK-1]
Target Audience
Population: People in Owasso, Oklahoma
Estimated Size: 34000
- The bill concerns the naming of a specific USPS facility in Owasso, Oklahoma, and does not mention any operational changes.
Reasoning
- The policy is limited to naming a single post office facility in Owasso, Oklahoma. With a relatively small budget and no operational changes, the main impact is symbolic and primarily affects only locals familiar with the significance of Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts.
- Given the population of Owasso, which is approximately 34,000, the influence of this change will be subtle. The policy's relevance might be more pronounced for community members directly related or interested in military honors or those regularly using the post office.
- The policy does not have a large-scale impact that would require significant budget allocation beyond the symbolic gesture of renaming. Thus, the projected change in wellbeing is minimal as it does not alter economic or social services.
