Highlights

GAO was requested to review the Postal Service's site-acquisition practices to see if more effective consultation with local government officials is needed. Specifically, GAO was requested to determine whether the Service needs to: (1) change its procedures for informing affected communities about plans to construct or acquire new postal facilities or expand existing ones; and (2) provide a better explanation to the community of the area in which the Service would like to locate new facilities.
