Congressman Tim Moore Urges USPS to Reopen Chimney Rock Post Office

WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congressman Tim Moore (NC-14) penned a letter calling on the U.S. Postal Service to immediately reopen the Chimney Rock Village Post Office, which has remained closed since Hurricane Helene devastated the region. Although repairs have been completed and a USPS assessment in October 2025 deemed the facility suitable for operation, the post office has not resumed service.

“Reopening the Chimney Rock Village Post Office would provide much-needed stability and represent meaningful progress in the community’s recovery. I strongly urge the Postal Service to act promptly to restore operations and ensure residents have access to the essential services they rely on,” Congressman Moore wrote in the letter.

The extended closure has placed a significant burden on residents and small businesses, many of whom now travel outside the community for basic mail services — including prescription deliveries, bill payments, and other essential correspondence.
