Where can I see the proposed list of post offices slated for closure?”
Almost 40 St. Louis area post office branches are on a list that the U.S. Postal Service is studying for possible closure, according to an Associated Press story: Facing staggering financial losses, the Postal Service is looking at closing as many as 1,000 offices across the country. The post office has been struggling with a sharp decline in mail volume as people and businesses switch to e-mail both for personal contact and bill paying. The agency is facing a nearly $7 billion potential loss this fiscal year despite a 2-cent increase in the price of stamps in May, cuts in staff and removal of collection boxes. Post officials sent a list of nearly 700 potential candidates to the independent Postal Regulatory Commission for review.
