Study: Postal closure would save $11.3M annually
Nearly half of the more than 200 employees at the U.S. Postal Service distribution center in Eatontown could lose their jobs next year if the service follows through on its plan to close the facility.
The Postal Service would save about $11.3 million a year if that facility is closed, according to the results of a feasibility study done on the proposal.
A public hearing on that plan is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at Monmouth Regional High School in Tinton Falls.
Also being studied for closure is the Kilmer Processing and Distribution Center in Edison. That study is still in its early stages and no savings or projected job losses have been made, said postal service spokesman George Flood. (Bowman, Gannett)
