USPS to hold public meeting

The U.S. Postal Service will hold a public meeting to discuss its proposal to move some mail processing operations from the Jamestown Customer Service Mail Processing Center into the Fargo Processing and Distribution Center.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. May 12 at the Jamestown Civic Center, 212 Third Ave. N.E.

The meeting is the result of a study conducted starting in March to determine the feasibility of consolidating redundant operations to see if any efficiencies and cost savings would be achieved.

Initial study results support consolidating some mail processing operations that are currently being performed at the Jamestown center by taking advantage of available processing capacity at the Fargo center in order to increase efficiency and improve productivity.

While no final decision has been reached, Postal Service managers will give an overview of the reasons for the proposal and its possible outcomes, and will listen to community input and concerns. A summary of the proposal and presentation materials will be made available on usps.com one week before the meeting date.
