SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) — The United States Postal Service will retain some local mail processing operations in Sioux Falls and invest up to $12.75 million in the Sioux Falls facility, according to a news release from the USPS.
The announcement from USPS comes after officials announced they would shift local mail processing operations to Omaha, Nebraska.
“The Sioux Falls facility will also see changes designed to boost its services, thanks to a previously announced USPS investment of up to $12.75 million,” the USPS said.
According to the release, that means that mail that is collected in Sioux Falls and destined to another address would not leave the region for processing.
There will be no impacts to employee and staffing numbers, the release said.
The USPS will be investing up to $12.75 million in the Sioux Falls local processing center.
“This strategy provides a solution that will ensure our organization can cover the cost of local originating mail processing operations in the Sioux Falls facility,” said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in a news release.
“Moreover, our Delivering for America plan is channeling up to $12.75 million into upgrading the Sioux Falls facility,” DeJoy said in a statement. “This investment goes beyond just enhancing the work environment for our employees. It’s about equipping the facility with the necessary technology and resources to deliver top-notch service to the local community for the foreseeable future.”
