Post Office To Announce Processing Center Closures

The struggling U.S. Postal Service is expected today to announce plans to close about 250 mail processing centers around the country, including 10 in Ohio. The $3 billion in cuts would slow first-class mail service, ending next-day deliveries of stamped letters. A list of processing centers targeted for closure includes facilities in most parts of the state. A union spokesman says under the plan, processing offices in Columbus and Cleveland would be the only ones left in Ohio.
