Editor’s note: The Polk County Board of Commissioners recently sent a letter to N.C. Senator Kay Hagan in support of keeping the Mill Spring Post Office open. The following is a response from Hagan.
Dear Polk County Board of Commissioners, county manager and clerk to the board:
In response to your letter dated, June 20, 2011, Senator Hagan’s office contacted the Government Relations Office for the U.S. Postal Service regarding the Mill Spring Post Office.
In April of this year, the USPS made an internal move to consolidate the Mill Spring Post Office with the nearby Columbus location. This consolidation involved the relocation of the carrier unit. The carriers’ routes remain the same, but beginning in April they have reported to the Columbus location at the start and close of business.
All customer services offered at the Mill Spring location have remained unchanged and the USPS reported that they have no plans to close the Mill Spring location.
Thank you for your letter and please follow up if you have further questions. Thank you.
– Senator Kay Hagan
