RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The U.S. Postal Service will be modernizing mail operations at its Reno Processing and Distribution Center on Vassar Street as part of a $40 billion investment strategy.
USPS says that in addition to determining that the facility will remain open as a local processing center, it will transfer outgoing mail processing operations to the processing and distribution center in West Sacramento.
The 10-year plan aims to improve organizational and operational processes to make the post office more efficient.
In addition to the new investments, USPS also says there will be no layoffs due to this change.
USPS will invest up to $13.4 million into the Reno Local Processing Center, which will allow the center to expand and streamline package and mail processing and distribution capabilities. Included in these investments is $8.4 million for modernization efforts and deferred maintenance, such as new lighting and renovated bathrooms and breakrooms.
The consolidation of plant operations will also allow the Reno center to be co-located with a sorting and delivery center, which will allow the USPS to provide faster and more reliable mail delivery over a wider area.
