Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike McIntyre announced that the Lake Waccamaw Post Office has been saved, having been removed from the closure list by the United States Postal Service (USPS).

Congressman McIntyre stated, “This is a great victory for the residents of Lake Waccamaw!  The Lake Waccamaw Post Office is an essential component in day-to-day living and in business operations, and its removal from the USPS closure list reinforces that.  I have been honored to work with Mayor Ivan Wilson, and he is to be commended for his leadership, the entire Lake Waccamaw community is to be applauded, for their efforts to keep this facility open!  Indeed, this is a gold star day for Lake Waccamaw!”

Upon getting the news in early December that the USPS had placed the Lake Waccamaw Post office on its targeted closure list, Congressman McIntyre and Mayor Wilson formulated a strategy to inform the USPS about the business impact of the Lake Waccamaw Post Office and the support from the local community.
