Post Office in South Anderson Possibly Closing

I read this article today and it really got my blood pressure up. What are they thinking? If a Post Office in Anderson has to be closed, why would it be the one on this side of town? With my office right down the street from this post office on S Main, we really are one of the few real estate companies that are located on this side of town. So it really hit home. Sometimes this side of Anderson gets treated like the proverbial red headed step child.

And since this post office is located in one of the most popular shopping centers on this side of town, it is super convenient for people when they are running errands. Not everybody wants to go to Clemson Blvd to do their shopping!

Post office officials have told the residents they should call their congressional representatives if they want to advocate for keeping their local post office open. So please take the time to call or email every elected official you can and tell them South Anderson is important and has people that vote!

Gracie Floyd, a member of the Anderson County Council, stood outside the South Anderson branch Tuesday and talked to people about how closing the branch would affect them. She said about 1,500 residents have signed a petition advocating for the post office to stay open. So at least we have Gracie Floyd looking out for her constituents. But unless you get involved, then you will not have any right to complain if they do close this Post Office!

And this same article said they are not looking at closing the North Anderson Post Office. Why not?
