NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) – The U.S. Postal Service plans to close mail processing centers in Norfolk, Grand Island and Alliance to cut costs.
The list of the facilities the Postal Service plans to close was released Thursday.
It was not immediately clear Thursday morning what will happen to all the jobs at those centers. The Grand Island center employs 66, Norfolk has 58 and Alliance has 8.
The mail processing currently being done in Grand Island and Norfolk would be move to an Omaha facility.
The western Nebraska mail processing done in Alliance will move to a facility in North Platte.
The Postal Service is predicting it will lose a record $14.1 billion this year. The agency is dealing with declining revenue because people are switching to electronic communication tools instead of mail.
