AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Tupelo MS to Grenada MS

Date:  February 11, 2011

On July 21, 2010, we announced the approval of the Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal to consolidate some mail processing performed at the Tupelo, Mississippi Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) with those performed at the Memphis, Tennessee Processing and Distribution Center. While the determination to consolidate operations from Tupelo into Memphis was based upon sound business reasons, we have decided to examine if there are other opportunities to improve efficiency. As a result, we are placing the implementation of the Tupelo AMP on hold and are initiating a new study to consider the consolidation of mail processing operations from the Tupelo, MS CSMPC into the Grenada, MS CSMPC.

If the feasibility study supports the business case for consolidation, we will hold a public meeting to allow members of the community to ask questions and provide feedback. We will address these questions or concerns at the public meeting.  The public’s input will be considered in any final determination.
