Post Office Proposals Filed Amid Network Reshaping
Postal Service proposals were filed with the Federal Register and will go to the Postal Regulatory Commission in fall. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe cites a sharp mail volume drop and excess capacity, noting 186 facilities closed since 2006 and $12 billion in cost reductions. Local owners, including Larry Lightler of Upscale Resale in Aiken, fear impacts on Graniteville post office service.

North Augusta and Gloverville residents voice loyalty to the post office while considering cuts to rural routes and a possible four day delivery week. First class mail has fallen 25 percent in five years and single piece mail 36 percent as USPS funds itself from sales. Suzanne Stone of the Aiken Standard reports on community impact and ongoing proposals.
