Staff Report
The U.S. Postal Service will hold a public meeting to discuss its proposal to move mail processing operations from the Rockford Processing and Distribution Center into the Madison, Wis., Processing and Distribution Center.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 15, inside the Best Western Clock Tower Resort & Conference Center, 7801 E. State St., Rockford.
With the deep decline in mail volume as a result of the current economic conditions and continuing electronic diversion, the Postal Service has an excess of employees and equipment in some mail processing operations. A study was begun Sept. 15 at the Rockford facility to determine the feasibility of consolidating redundant operations to see if any efficiencies and cost savings would be achieved.
Initial study results support consolidating mail processing operations that are currently being handled at the Madison, Wis., facility 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 online one week prior to the meeting at http://about.usps.com/streamlining-operations/area-mail-processing.htm [1].
Anyone who wishes to submit comments in writing can send them to Manager of Consumer and Industry Contact, Lakeland District, P.O. Box 5008, Milwaukee, WI, 53201-5008.
Public comments will be accepted through Dec. 31.
