Postal service announces mail-processing centers to be closed
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
After more than five months of study, the United States Postal Service announced last Thursday the closure of 223 mail-processing centers including three in Tennessee. Despite the announcement the mail-processing centers won't be closing just yet. The postal service agreed in December to a self-imposed moratorium on any closures until May 15, 2012 in order to give Congress the opportunity to create an alternative plan. USPS is the only federal government agency that does not receive federal funding, relying solely on revenue from stamps and shipping.
