Evidence

The MPFR page lists Bismarck, ND and Grand Forks, ND as "Decision to Proceed" and includes each site's "Notice of Public Meeting" and public comment materials.

USPS's official MPFR page shows North Dakota facilities had public meeting materials and were advanced to decision-to-proceed status, indicating the communities were engaged before USPS moved forward.

USPS's official Mail Processing Facility Review materials list the impacted North Dakota facilities, including Bismarck and Grand Forks, with public meeting notices and public comment materials before the facilities reached 'Decision to Proceed' status. That matches the promised oversight outcome: impacted communities were engaged before USPS moved forward with mail processing changes. Because the documented completion is dated after the promise context rather than clearly within the same term, later_term timing is appropriate.
