USPS Upgrades Sioux Falls Plant to Major Regional Processing Hub
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
The U.S. Postal Service announced plans to upgrade its Sioux Falls processing plant to a Regional Processing and Distribution Center, effective January 1, 2027. This upgrade follows an assessment of the Postal Service’s logistics operations across South Dakota. Under the new model, the Sioux Falls facility will handle most originating and destinating mail and packages for South Dakota directly. The change means intrastate mail from Huron and Rapid City will now be processed in Sioux Falls.
