MI HCR0055

Requests Congress intervene to prevent closure of the U.S. Postal Service's Processing and Distribution Center in Lansing, Michigan as part of a broader cost-savings facility consolidation plan.

The Lansing facility processes 3 to 5 million pieces of mail daily, including 500,000 first-class items, and closure would result in delivery delays of up to 3 days instead of overnight service.

Closure would eliminate at least 200 jobs and harm the Lansing area economy by reducing service quality and competitiveness against alternative delivery systems.

The facility's strategic location at the intersection of major highways near the state's population center and access to adjacent expansion land make it advantageous compared to the proposed relocation site, which is leased property.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
