What I would like to see built and I'd pay some bucks to help is a Performing Arts Center
but NOT on village property. Maybe in one of those cow pastures near where the new VA Hospital is going up on 42 or someplace on 301. Close enough to TV that we could all attend yet not be under their thumb.

You've cited a couple locations of post offices and others in this thread have named many more. If you'll notice a couple similarities about those sites, it is that they are all municipalities of some sort and they've all been there for a long time, especially relative to TV. Until recently (in gov't time), TV was mostly located in and around Lady Lake and was served by that office. As we know, the USPS is a semi-independent government agency. It reports neither to Congress nor the president. It is supposed to be revenue neutral, but it does rely somewhat on our tax dollars. The USPS retains the power to build, operate, lease and maintain buildings and facilities. It's not done by Congress or the president. And they do operate on gov't time. They don't build like the Morses. They have a long range schedule for construction and hopefully with actions like the massive petition and pressure from the local Reps, TV can get on that schedule. But keep in mind -- it's still gov't time.
And these are the folks to whom so many want to turn all heath care.
