The United States Postal Service announced Wed., May 9 that it would keep open post offices scheduled to close, but would reduce hours at many more offices, including more than two dozen locally. "The new strategy would be implemented over a two-year, multi-phased approach and would not be completed until September 2014. Once implementation is completed, the Postal Service estimates savings of a half billion dollars annually," a USPS press release said.
