The upgrades are part of a $40 billion nationwide investment strategy to revitalize the US Postal Service and bolster its mail and package network to ensure long-term improvements to service performance. 

"This is more than an investment in infrastructure and our employees. It is a pledge to continue serving residents of the Colorado area and across the nation for years to come," said one USPS representative.
