Webster pursues USPS options; Westbridge Vocational board to consider lease possibility
Summary
Town leaders reported outreach to the USPS about potential properties and noted a meeting between a resident and Westbridge Vocational about leasing property for a mobile USPS unit. Westbridge’s representative said he would consult his board and follow up within a week.
Mayor Tracy Rodes told the board on Oct. 1 that she has submitted several potential properties to a USPS real estate representative and discussed the issue with Reagan Mathis and Sylva Mayor Phillips as part of efforts to re-establish postal services in or near Webster. Resident Louise Runyon said she met with Joe Rigdon at Westbridge Vocational (formerly Webster Enterprises) to explore leasing property for a USPS mobile unit. According to the meeting record, Rigdon said he had not been seeking to lease property but would inform his board and report back to Mayor Rodes within the week.
Several residents—named in the meeting record as Louise Runyon, Kirsten Morgan, Billie Jo Bryson and Mary Elvington—expressed support for the town’s continued efforts to pursue a post office location. The transcript does not record any formal motion or commitment of town funds for a postal facility; it records outreach and follow-up steps only.
Town leaders did not set a formal timeline in the meeting record beyond the expectation that Westbridge’s executive committee would discuss the possibility and contact the mayor with an update within about a week.
