Residents urge clarity as Mount Holly Post Office remains closed; board to write USPS
Summary
With the Mount Holly Post Office closed and reopening uncertain, a resident proposed a prefabricated building on the former town garage slab and the Select Board agreed to send a letter to USPS seeking clarity on plans and timelines.
Carol Garrow Woolley told the Select Board that the Mount Holly Post Office remains closed with no clear reopening timetable and proposed erecting a prefabricated building on the cement slab where the former town garage stood to serve as a dedicated post office. Paul Nevin asked whether rent would come to the Town if a prefabricated building were used, and Dennis Devereux asked about options for mail delivery to the Town Office.
Mark Turco cautioned that any such proposal would have to go to a town vote. The board directed Mark Turco and Jeff Chase to send a letter to the U.S. Postal Service to express concern about the lack of a local post office and to seek clarity on the USPS's plans for Mount Holly. No commitment to build or fund a structure was made at the meeting.
