A public meeting scheduled for Wednesday to discuss proposed changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s Lubbock processing facility has been postponed as postal officials work to finalize specific details of their plans.
The meeting was intended to gather input on a Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR), a study which includes discussions of whether the USPS should move some of its processing operations to Amarillo from Lubbock. The forum was initially scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, but the postal service announced late last week it would reschedule the meeting sometime “within the next several weeks.” The new date and time have not yet been announced.
“The MPFR will assess how this facility can best support the Postal Service’s service and operational goals and provide a platform to launch new products and competitive services for mailing and shipping customers in the future,” USPS said in a notice published to its website. “The Postal Service will also evaluate if efficiency could be increased by transferring some mail processing operations currently performed at the Lubbock (Processing and Distribution Center) to the Amarillo P&DC.”
