Post Master General promises to keep Rural Offices Open
05.09.12 |
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe tells a news conference the new plan will save the mail agency half a billion dollars each year while addressing concerns of rural residents most opposed to post office closings.
Previously, up to 3,700 low-revenue post offices were slated for closure or consolidation beginning sometime after May 15, many in rural areas. It was part of a multibillion-dollar postal cost-cutting effort to stave off the agency's bankruptcy.
The Postal Service now plans to seek regulatory approval for the new plan and get community input, a process that could take several months.
