INFORMAL POSTAL SERVICE SURVEY

Chamber Mission

The Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce's mission is to promote and serve business and industry members while enhancing community life in western Johnson County.

Background

In October 2000, the Chamber of Commerce hosted a survey of residents in seven postal routes now serviced by either the Clayton or Garner post offices. Those residents were asked to select one of five names. Cleveland Springs drew a majority of votes. In July 2001, an alert resident of Cleveland area, discovered that a Cleveland Springs already exists in western North Carolina. After the US Postal Service rechecked, they admitted they had failed to thoroughly search the name.

Because of the cost of such a survey, and because nearly two years has passed, the USPS has asked the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce to conduct an "informal" survey before the USPS conducts their official survey.

Our purpose was and is to create an identity using a name suggested and adopted by the people of this community – a name that we can put "on the map" and "the highway."

FOR YOUR SURVEY RESPONSE TO COUNT, WE MUST HAVE YOUR STREET ADDRESS so that we may match it against the area to be surveyed by the post office by year's end. Only those surveys from addresses within the affected area will be used.

EACH ADDRESS IS ENTITLED TO ONE VOTE.

We appreciate your time and interest in this matter.

Both Clayton and Garner post offices are approximately 8 miles from 40/42 intersection. While there is interest in maintaining our connection to Johnston County through the Clayton post office, there are also many residents who find Garner convenient when traveling to and from Raleigh. You would only have to go to a specific post office to pick up parcels or certified mail. You may use any post office to purchase postage or send mail. Please indicate your preference.
