\"SavePO\"<\/a>The Durant post office may see more traffic if two Bryan County post offices are closed following a study by the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n

Mead and Cartwright post offices could be closed after hearings on both offices. Residents said they were notified by letter from the postal service about the upcoming changes. The letter also asked for feedback from residents in the area.<\/p>\n

Due to financial setbacks, the U.S. Postal Service has been consolidating its locations across the country.<\/p>\n

A decline in people using first class mail caused The U.S. Postal Service to start a \u201cpost plan\u201d program in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Postal Service\u2019s post plan is designed to make sure America\u2019s communities continue to have access to our products and services as we right-size our Post Office network to reflect the nation\u2019s current use of our services,\u201d according to the U.S. Postal Service website.<\/p>\n

The service says this plan could save the agency up to $1.2 billion by the end of this year. This means closing some post offices throughout the country.<\/p>\n

The postal service said on its Website that, \u201clistening to our customers and gathering their input via public meetings and surveys is a critical part of the plan. The schedules provided here give details on the date, time and location of public meetings for each Post Office being considered under the plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both post office hearings will be held at the office on July 18 in each post office. Cartwright Post Office hearing will be held at 12 p.m. and Mead\u2019s will be held at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
