SURVEY MUST BE TURNED IN BY NOVEMBER 3, 2009
This branch located in
downtown Winston-Salem, NC is a vital business resource for our
community and it supports over 20,000 employees and 38,364
residents within a two mile radius.
Downtown is the home of a burgeoning residential and commercial
business base with over 70 restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops.
It is also home to the Piedmont Triad Research Park and many of
our city's oldest and largest businesses. Downtown is also
the central hub for our City and County government operations,
including the Hall of Justice, Sheriff's Office, City Hall,
Forsyth County Administration Building, and the Hiram H. Ward
Federal Building.
We urge the U.S. Postal Service to reconsider this location for
possible closure and to maintain this location as a branch. The
federal government should support services within downtown areas
rather than removing services.
Please consider
signing the petition (link below) to show your support to
keep our downtown Post Office
open! Also, please
consider
contacting your elected officials and voice your
concern to them (contact info below).
The Center City Post Office
address is 200 Town Run Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27101-3913. The
post office is in U.S. Representative Mel Watt's NC 12 Congressional District.
