BURBANK, CA — The U.S. Postal Service has opened a new state-of-the-art Sorting & Delivery Center (SDC) in Burbank, CA, marking a major milestone in its nationwide effort to modernize operations and improve service for local residents.

The facility, which was unveiled during a special event attended by employees, is designed to streamline package and mail processing, ensuring faster deliveries and a more efficient network. At every level and across every operation, USPS is transforming into a more efficient, high-performing logistics and delivery enterprise supported by a dedicated workforce of nearly 640,000 men and women nationwide. Through its aggressive facility investments aimed at making service more reliable and affordable across the state, the Postal Service has emphasized the safety and wellbeing of its more than 62,500 employees in the state.

This initiative is part of a broader, $40 billion investment across the nation aimed at improving delivery reliability, efficiency, and employee working conditions. To date, nearly $640 million in strategic local investments has been allocated to enhance operations in California. This includes more than $16 million to construct 24 new facilities, more than $233 million to renovate 473 existing structures, and more than $176 million to purchase 60 state-of-the-art package sorting machines across the state.
