Residents ask Select Board to press USPS amid uncertainty over Mount Holly post office reopening
Summary
With the Mount Holly Post Office still closed, board members agreed to write to USPS to seek clarity; a proposal to place a prefabricated post office on the former town garage slab was discussed, with questions about rent and delivery logistics.
Residents and board members raised concerns about the unclear reopening date for the Mount Holly Post Office. Carol Garrow Woolley proposed the town consider erecting a prefabricated building on the cement slab where the former town garage stood as a dedicated post office; she also asked the Select Board to write to the U.S. Postal Service to request clarity on plans for the facility.
Questions at the meeting included whether rent revenue from a leased post office would go to the Town and whether mail delivery could be routed to the Town Office. Mark Turco and Jeff Chase agreed to send a letter to USPS expressing concern about the lack of local postal services and seeking clarity on USPS plans. The transcript does not specify whether the board committed funds toward a prefabricated building; any such proposal would require a vote.
