Kansas Senator Jerry Moran said he has been assured that Wichita will keep its U.S. Postal Service Processing Center.
Moran said Thursday he received information from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the future of the center near Eisenhower National Airport.
In a press release, Moran said “The Wichita processing center helps move mail across south central Kansas, making certain folks receive their prescriptions, packages, paychecks and more in a timely manner. I spoke with the Postmaster General this week, and he assured me that the Wichita processing center is not going to be closed nor consolidated. Mail processing and cancellation will continue to occur in Wichita, and USPS intends to improve processing capabilities in Wichita in the future to better serve south central Kansas.”
Concerns have been raised in recent months about delays in processing and moving mail, but there have also been concerns that the facility might be moved to Kansas City or another location.
