Postal service could close 5 Neb. mail centers

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) – The U.S. Postal Service is studying whether to close five mail processing centers in Nebraska to save money. The Norfolk Daily News reports the postal service announced Thursday that it would consider whether to continue operations at the centers in Alliance, Grand Island, Norfolk, North Platte and west Omaha. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Brian Sperry says that if the centers are closed, mail now processed through the Grand Island, Norfolk and west Omaha centers could be sent to the downtown Omaha center. Mail now destined for the Alliance and North Platte centers could go through Cheyenne, Wyoming. Sperry says no decision has been made and the postal service is considering its options. The postal service lost $8.5 billion last year and is expected to lose $10 billion this year.
