Mulberry Grove area is fairly close to Summerfield post office on 301 and it's too far from everything else in TV. (And since that area is in District 4, the POA would probably sue to take over mail delivery.) Just kidding!
Mulberry is also close to the Weisdale post office - 5 miles east of Buena Vista. Apparently the gist of the petition is to get something that is "golf cart accessible". That seems to be the theme of those south of 466. I am happy with what post office access I have since I very seldom have to go to an actual post office. I get my stamps from the ATM machine. Who is going to pay for the post office building and who is going to benefit from the sale of the property to build the post office?

I opt for it to be in Sumter county. They got the money to build it - ie new bond.
