The United States Postal Service (USPS) is set to enhance its mail delivery network with the opening of a new Phoenix Regional Processing and Distribution Center, according to ABC15. Positioned within the Fairway Commerce Center at 12250 W. Corporative Drive in Avondale, the 450,260-square-foot facility is part of a broader USPS commitment to modernize its operations.
Having signed a 10-year lease with options for renewal, USPS also retains a right of first refusal to potentially acquire the property, as stated in Maricopa County land documents. This expansion allows the USPS to better manage outgoing and incoming mail, including letters, flats, and packages, as per ABC15. Initiating operations in September, the move reflects a need to adapt to growing demands within the region.
"This location will enhance our processing efforts in the Phoenix region and no existing facilities in the area are closing," USPS said in a statement obtained by the Business Journal. "It will provide our employees with a state of the art facility with the latest processing equipment, bright workplaces with excellent amenities for our employees and an ability to continue growing with the region."
