In a move to help ensure the future of the nation’s mail system, the Postal Service announced today the completion of its area mail processing consolidation studies announced in September 2011. Implementation would not occur before before May 15, 2012, due to the Postal Service’s commitment to members of the U.S. Senate not to close or consolidate any postal facility prior to that date.

This website provides information on the decision made in each study, including whether each facility will be closed or consolidated, remain open, or have its study placed on hold. For those facilities facing a change, the name of the “gaining site”— the facility where mail processing operations will be relocated — also is included.
