WATERLOO — Local mail processing would remain at the Waterloo post office under a plan announced Wednesday by the United States Postal Service.
The decision — under review by the Postal Regulatory Commission — means mail being delivered from one address in Waterloo to another would not leave the region for processing.
A USPS news release states the plan would “retain certain local mail processing operations at the Waterloo postal facility.”
It follows an April proposal by the Postal Service to shift local mail processing operations to the Des Moines Processing and Distribution Center in 2025. Officials initially anticipated “staffing impacts” if any processing was moved to Des Moines. However, keeping local cancellation service in Waterloo would mean no changes to employee numbers in Waterloo.
