Dear Greenwood friends and neighbors,

This notice is to inform you that the U.S. Postal Service is actively considering closing our Greenwood Post Office. The immediate plan is to move both the mail “sorting” functions and service of our Rural Delivery Route to Crozet. This is undoubtedly an interim step that will undermine the level of service currently provided through our Greenwood P.O. and ultimately lead to its full closure.

Should this occur, it is entirely possible that our “Greenwood, Va. 22943” mailing address will disappear forever from the Postal Service landscape and, with it, a vital part of our identity as a small rural community. It is absolutely essential that we take immediate action with a loud and unified voice to oppose these initial steps and to let the appropriate authorities know how much our local Post Office means to us!

We have scheduled a meeting to be held in the Parish Hall of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church (located on U.S. Rte. 250 here in Greenwood) on Wednesday, April 11th at 7:00 p.m. Please attend this important meeting to discuss how we can let the U.S.P.S. know that we do not want them to change or close our Post Office!

Be looking for a petition to support our post office, it will be available at the post office and available at the meeting for signatures. The text of the petition is shown below. If you would like to help us circulate the petition before the meeting, or help coordinate efforts now, please email or call Scott ( info below)

This meeting and information is put together by concerned local citizens and is not connected to the USPS in any way.

PETITION IN SUPPORT OF THE GREENWOOD POST OFFICE

We, the undersigned, are residents of Greenwood, Virginia and/or patrons and customers of the “22943” Zip Code Postal Service Area. We are adamantly opposed to any and all actions by the U.S.P.S. that are related to a proposed or considered closing of the Greenwood Post Office or any interim steps which will reduce or redirect service functions that are currently performed through the Greenwood Post Office (specifically the “sorting” functions and service of the Rural Delivery Routes which are now handled both efficiently and profitably from this location).
The Greenwood Post Office is a valued community resource and we wholeheartedly support its continued operations and functions.
