A feasibility study completed by the U.S. Postal Service supports discontinuing mail-processing operations at Augusta’s main branch, the postal service has announced.
According to the postal service, local mail - including all mail from Columbia County's five post offices - would be sent to Macon, Ga., or Columbia to be sorted and posted to their destinations.
The consolidation would not close Augusta’s main post office branch, but it would affect 110 jobs and make the standard delivery time two to three days.
