We've brought you the story about the possibility of the United States Postal Service sending Bowling Green's processing plant to Nashville.

We found out more on how this is concerning the public in more ways than one.

The move would only affect the processing of the mail with customers still being able to drop mail off at both post office locations, but as we found out, from delayed mail to the economy, the possibility of the move has many concerned.

"We are basically pulling out all the stops," said Mayor Elaine Walker. "When I was in D.C. recently I met with Congressman Guthrie. His staff is working very closely with us to try and see if we can't stop them from closing this processing facility."

With many worried about delayed mail, differences in efficiency, and job loss if the processing facility moves, those with USPS say consolidation is needed.

"Mail volume is at historic lows, and we just incurred a $3.8-billion loss during our last fiscal year," said David Walton, a USPS Spokesperson. "In order to remain viable, we must increase our efficiency and improve productivity, and we feel we can achieve this through consolidation."

It's a step they're taking all over the country, but many here fear it will hurt our economy.

"When you lose jobs you lose tax dollars in a community, and it may be 21 jobs, but they're 21 well paying jobs that we've had historically here," said Alan Palmer, Marketing Director at Greenview Regional Hospital. "I just hate to think that we're going to be losing those jobs, losing that tax revenue at a time when we need that money more than ever."

"To move a processing facility from Bowling Green, which in Warren County right now has a higher unemployment rate than Nashville, just doesn't make sense," said Mayor Walker.

Walton with USPS says there have been many fallacies stated about the move when it comes to mail delivery.

"If this consolidation were to happen, the chance would be transparent," said Walton. "Customers would not notice anything different about their mail delivery."

He says a public meeting is used in every location consolidation is considered, and he hopes Bowling Green's meeting will help clear up a lot of issues.

"I think you're going to see a good number of people attending the meeting coming up later this month," said Palmer. "People who are concerned about losing the jobs and want to voice their opinion."

"I'm hopeful that we can turn it around," said Mayor Walker. "I'm hopeful that we can stop it from taking place."

Everyone is invited to attend the meeting later this month to voice your opinion.

That meeting will be held Thursday, January 14 at Greenwood High at 7pm.

A summary of the proposal will be made available to the public on usps.com prior to the meeting.
