GPO's Colorado Distribution Center Celebrates Its 45th Anniversary
WASHINGTON — October 12, 2016 — The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s (GPO) Public Documents Distribution Center in Pueblo, Colo., is celebrating its 45th anniversary. The facility opened its doors on October 11, 1971. GPO employees at the Pueblo facility work with the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Federal Citizen Information Center to process and distribute orders for consumer publications. Since 1971, more than 1.2 billion publications have been distributed from the Pueblo facility worldwide. Today, more than 300 publications processed and distributed by the facility are available digitally: http://publications.usa.gov/. The center has a reputation for excellent customer service and consistently scores high on customer satisfaction surveys.
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed an act of the 111th Congress to rename the center after the late Congressman Frank Evans, who led the effort to establish the distribution center in Pueblo.
"I want to congratulate our employees in Pueblo on a milestone of excellent customer service to our country," says GPO Director Davita Vance-Cooks. "The Pueblo distribution center is an example of the services GPO offers to Federal agencies to help with their distribution, publishing and printing needs."
