Postal Service Plan Will Move Forward

The Postal Service announced today it will “move forward” with plans to reduce mail delivery standards, which could delay delivery by several days. The Postal Service’s plan assumes the closure of more than half of its 487 mail processing centers—including those in Kalispell, Missoula and Helena. The Postal Service held public comment meetings on the Kalispell and Missoula facilities just last week.  Senator Jon Tester says he wants the Postal Regulatory Commission to reevaluate these closures with proper consideration of public input. The public comment period on the proposed closure of the Missoula mail processing facility ends December 14.  Public comment on the proposed closure of the Kalispell facility ends on December 15.
