U.S. Postal Service representatives are moving forward with the public process on possible local post office closures and a consolidation despite an announcement from Washington, D.C., that no final decision will be made before May.
Postal Service spokesman James Wigdel said the meeting scheduled for tonight regarding the possible consolidation of the Eureka processing plant with one in Medford, Ore., will go on as planned. Representatives will make a presentation to the public explaining the consolidation process and preliminary results of a study examining the cost savings of consolidation before taking questions and comments.
”We'll continue the public process,” Wigdel said on the phone while traveling to Eureka on Wednesday.
The delay, which the postal service announced Tuesday, applies to the closure decision as well.
