GPO’s Pueblo Distribution Center Celebrates 45 Years Of Service

The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s (GPO) Public Documents Distribution Center in Pueblo, Colorado celebrates its 45th anniversary today. 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,” said 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.”
