Located between the current post office building and the > Amissville Baptist Church, the property is zoned village/residential.
The Rings are confident that the property can be rezoned commercial because, said Averill • Ring in a recent interview, “the board of supervisors is very supportive” of keeping the post office in the village. . i
According to her, the couple sent an executed agreement to the USPS in mid-July, indicating their interest in negotiating for the sale of the property. “We are willing to take $15,000,” she stated, “in the interest of having the post office in the village.”
. County Administrator John McCarthy confirmed that he, too, had been contacted by USPS real estate specialist Clayton Redmond concerning the possible purchase. Redmond referred reporters to USPS public spokesperson Deborah Yackley who also confirmed that the negotiations are underway.
