| Press Release July 16, 2007 "Mesic gets USPS approval" For thirty six (36) years, from the day of its incorporation until now, the town of Mesic had to use the town of Bayboro as a part of its official mailing address. Within a few months after being elected, the town new mayor, Booker T. Jones and the town council called for a public hearing and several strategic planning meetings (with technical assistance by the NC Div. Of Community Assistance) to prioritize the interest of Mesic citizens. Establishing a post office for the town of Mesic to obtain its own postal identity was the number one priority. On October 3, 2006, the town council of Mesic adopted a "resolution to establish a post office" in the town of Mesic, N.C. The resolution together with the petitions with several hundred signatures, letters of support and or resolutions from; the pamlico county sheriff's department, the Bayboro town council of governments and the legal aid of North Carolina Community Economic Development Practice Group Manager were forwarded to U.S. Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr. for his assistance. Consequently we were informed by the United States Postal service that as of July 2, 2007 the citizens of Mesic may use "Mesic, N.C. 28515" as the last line of their address. The mayor and town council wish to thank everyone for their support. |
