The Postal Service prefers to establish the most efficient mode of delivery in new residential developments, including the determination of the type and location of mail delivery receptacles and collection boxes. During a new residential development’s design and planning phase (i.e., before the developers and builders finalize plans and site plats with the appropriate planning/zoning authorities), developers and builders must notify the Postal Service. Then, the Postal Service will consider input from these parties. Developers and builders should plan for basic or customized Centralized Mail Delivery Installations for residential communities (i.e., Neighborhood Delivery Centers or CBUs).
For more information on Centralized Mail Delivery, contact your local Post Office or visit http://about.usps.com/what-we-are-doing/current-initiatives/delivery-growth-management/welcome.htm.
