Windsor Holds Special Meeting on New Post Office Site
Windsor Mayor Frank Mizell called a special Windsor Town Council meeting to discuss the future of the Windsor Post Office. The session, set for 7:30 p.m. at Windsor Town Hall, arises amid controversy over the proposed site after Lower Savannah Council of Governments criticized it as unsafe. Officials fear objections may derail plans to locate a permanent Windsor post office, with a small modular unit planned at or near U.S. 78 where the post office has operated for about a year. Frances Nunn, Windsor postmistress of 33 years, will retire in 1984, prompting relocation arrangements. All interested parties are invited to attend.
