You Have Until the End of June to Voice Concerns for Scale-Backs at Cherrybell Mail Center

Local businesses and residents have until June 30 to fill out a survey on what they think about the U.S. Postal Service's plans to shut down mail processing at Tucson's Cherrybell center.

<snip>

Rather than processing mail at Cherrybell, the Postal Service has shipped all outgoing Tucson mail to Phoenix prior to distribution, even if the mail has a Tucson address.

U.S. Reps. Martha McSally and Raúl Grijalva, as well as other local political and business voices, have pushed to keep Cherrybell running. The Postal Service announced the consolidation plans in 2011 as an effort to reduce costs for the agency. If the Cherrybell plans proceed, an approximate 250 jobs would be lost and overnight delivery to Tucson would end.

That's what I was told at my local post office when I asked them a couple of days ago.
