DALLAS (AP\/Staff) \u2013 Ten mail processing centers in Texas are among 252 nationwide that will close this spring in a $3 billion money-saving move by the government. Those include centers in Tyler and Lufkin. The U.S. Postal Service said Monday that it seeks to move quickly to shut the processing units and slow first-class delivery, amid declining mail volume. The Postal Service is projected to have a record loss of $14.1 billion next year.<\/p>\n
The agency in September announced the list of processing facilities being studied, including sites in Abilene, Austin, Beaumont, Bryan, Dallas, Tyler, Lufkin, McAllen and two facilities in Waco. The agency on Monday said the cuts are now being finalized to close the processing centers, starting in April. The Tyler processing facility is located at 12621 FM 3311, northeast of the city. The cost of mailing a first-class letter goes up a penny, beginning January 22, to 45 cents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
