PORTLAND — On September 15, 2011, the Postal Service announced that it would begin conducting an Area Mail Processing (AMP) feasibility study at the Eastern Maine Processing & Distribution Facility in Hampden. The Northern New England District office has completed its review and submitted it to the Northeast Area Office for consideration.
The public meeting originally scheduled for December 29, 2011 to explain the proposal and to allow public input has been rescheduled for January 11, 2012. The time and location remain the same: 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Jeff’s Catering, East West Industrial Park, 5 Coffin Ave, Brewer.
No later than one week prior to the meeting, we will post presentation materials along with the summary brief on our website, http://about.usps.com/streamlining-operations/area-mail-processing.htm.
We will also accept any public comment on the study up to 15 days after the meeting. Comments can be mailed to:
