In attempt to cut $3 billion from its budget by 2015, the U.S. Postal Service is considering closing 3,700 post office, and about 250 mail processing centers.
One of the processing centers up for closure is Binghamton's: its work would be absorbed by the processing center in Syracuse. That would save the Postal Service about $4.6 million, according to district manager Edward F. Phelan.
Phelan was among the postal service representatives at a Wednesday public meeting in Binghamton. He painted a grim picture of the US Postal Service's financial situation.
