“The US Postal Service has placed a study of the possible consolidation of the Centralia (Illinois) mail processing center into the St. Louis distribution center on-hold indefinitely. Postal Service Spokesperson Mike Stancil says the Area Mail Processing study has been shelved until major changes are completed at the St. Louis facility. He says the St. Louis plant is undergoing technological and staff changes, and after those are completed, the study may be revisited. Stancil says the postal service will not pursue the study or make any changes unless they are beneficial to the mailing community. He says there is no time line for when the changes will be completed in St. Louis.” WJBD Radio
