The United States Postal Service (USPS) recently announced processing operations will remain at the Fort Myers postal facility.
“This decision to leave those operations in Fort Myers is made possible due to a proposed operational strategy aimed at increasing efficiency, improving service quality and saving USPS an additional $3 billion per year nationwide,” a Postal Service release said.
According to the release, this proposed strategy is under review by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
The change would enable USPS to absorb the cost of continuing to provide local cancellation service for the area, meaning they would not need to relocate local originating mail processing operations outside of the Fort Myers facility. If mail is being delivered from one address in Fort Myers to another, it would not need to leave the area for processing.
Bob Shepherd, owner of a local property management company, deals with mail almost daily. As a property manager, he gets monthly payments through the mail.
