U.S. Postal Consolidation Could Save Billions

The U.S. Postal Service is consolidating operations around the country as more people resort to email as their primary means of written communication.

Rawlins, Wheatland and Rock Springs are among more than 250 sites the Postal Service is studying. The four-month long study in Rawlins is expected to extend into early 2012 and designed to weigh the efficiency of moving operations to a processing center in Cheyenne. Wheatland’s sorting operations could be similarly dispatched while Rock Springs’ would go to Salt Lake City. National consolidation efforts stand to save the Postal Service $3 billion annually. When sorting operations in Gillette, Riverton, Worland and Sheridan are moved to Casper in October, the Postal Service expects to save $330,000.
