Hendersonville leaders looking to relocate post office
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The City of Hendersonville is a step closer to relocating its post office.
Leaders say the one they have now is very outdated, doesn't meet the needs of residents, and constantly has lines out the door.
In this week's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Alderman Mark Skidmore stated that they haven't had a new post office built since Jimmy Carter was president, which was in 1976.
Right now, the post office is located at 105 Imperial Boulevard. Skidmore says the building is consistently packed with people.

There has been a lot of chatter about where the post office will be relocated, but a specific location is not mentioned in the resolution, because the board does not have the authority to make that decision. It's on the federal government.
The resolution simply notifies leaders in Washington that the city is in need of a post office, and it gets the process going.
Skidmore says another conversation they've floated around is having multiple post offices instead of one larger one. 'There's been a possibility, which I think is a very wise suggestion, that maybe we have two post offices. Keep that one there, and then maybe explore somewhere else, which is fine with us.'
As the city continues to have this conversation, they agreed to form a committee that can head up the responsibilities to make this happen.
