AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Charlottesville, VA P&DF to Richmond, VA P&DC C

Date Revised:  2/17/10

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the mail processing operations from the Charlottesville, VA Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Richmond, VA Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $6,455,391, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by July 2010.  There are no changes to the retail services offered at the Charlottesville Main Post Office or at the Downtown Charlottesville office.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of the mail processing operations from Charlottesville to Richmond provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
