Postal Service Planning To Close Big NJ Center

LOGAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) ― The U.S. Postal Service says it plans to shut down a southern New Jersey distribution center in February, possibly putting 650 people out of work in a county that's also set to lose 400 jobs at a refinery.

The postal center in Logan Township distributes Priority Mail.

Gloucester County freeholder board director Stephen Sweeney, who
also is a state senator, says he has asked U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews to look into whether the closing is justified.

Meanwhile, the county's economic development office is trying to help the more than 1,000 workers who are losing their jobs to file unemployment claims and prepare for new careers.

Sunoco's Eagle Point Refinery in West Deptford announced this week that it would shut down within six weeks.
