US Postal Service to purchase Reidsville Post Office for $1

The United States Postal Service is set to purchase the Reidsville Post Office and own the building outright at the end of the year.

The price to be paid is $1.00 and is effective in December 2017.

Mayor Sydney Clifton told council members the $1.00 was already received. The agreement was put into place 20 years ago and the USPS has been paying rent since 1997.

Clifton joked that the USPS sent the mayor $1.00 for the purchase and addressed another envelope with $1.00 to City Administrato Kellie Murray, “So we got twice as much as we’re owed!”
