Post Office to discuss consolidation plan March 28

March 15, 2012

The U.S. Postal Service will discuss its plans to consolidate some mail processing operations in Duluth at a public meeting at 6 p.m. March 28 at Hapeville Elementary School, 3440 N. Fulton Ave., Hapeville.

The Postal Service is considering moving some operations from the Atlanta Processing and Distribution Center to the North Metro Processing and Distribution Center in Duluth. The agency cited a steep decline in mail volume brought on by economic conditions and the rise of electronic communications.
