More Jobs Lost in South Jersey, Post Office Shutting Down Swedesboro Facility

The US Postal Service released this statement:

The Philadelphia Logistics & Distribution Center (L&DC), located in Swedesboro NJ, will close at the end of March, 2010, and the operations shifted into nearby postal processing facilities in the surrounding area. This facility is a \”back room\” operation that is transparent to our customers.

The Postal Service must look continually to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service. This move leverages owned postal space helping us to accomplish our goal to reduce costs and protect the long-term viability of our organization. We will continue to review all aspects of our business in an effort to close the gap between costs and revenue.
