PRAIRIE CITY, S.D. (AP) - Prairie City residents have filed a complaint with the Postal Regulatory Commission to get their post office reopened.
A petition in support of the rural Perkins County post office, bearing 69 signatures, was filed Wednesday.
Ruby and Herman VanDenBerg, who live south of Prairie City, were among those who signed. They say the next closest post office is in Bison, about 17 miles away from Prairie City.
The U.S. Postal Service closed the post office in December, citing environmental issues and furnace problems.
