Wilson's Mills Announces Address Change
Wilson’s Mills has experienced a large influx of growth over the past several years and the confusion regarding property owners’ mailing and physical addresses within the town limits has grown substantially. Unless residents purchase a post office box in Wilson’s Mills, the mailing and physical addresses inside Wilson’s Mills have either a Smithfield or Clayton address due to the required delivery from one of those post offices. This has created confusion not only regarding mail and package delivery, but also confusion by new residents about where they are located, who to call for various services, and which voting district to which they belong.
In an effort to clear up this confusion and create a sense of community and identity for our growing area, Town leaders have been working diligently with the US Postal Service to create addresses that reflect the identity of our community.
With the permission of Roselle Murrell, USPS District Manager, effective immediately, all property owner addresses will use the Preferred Last Line (PLL) town name of Wilson’s Mills but will keep the current zip code assigned to the address. For example, the original address for Town Hall was 4083 Wilson’s Mills Road, Smithfield, NC 27577, but the new address going forward will be 4083 Wilson’s Mills Road, Wilson’s Mills, NC 27577 – using the same zip code from Smithfield, but with the correct Town location name.
More than 2,400 property owners within Wilson’s Mills town limits have been notified of the address change via mailed letters. While the new addresses take effect immediately, existing mailing addresses will still be recognized for a transitional period.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Wilson's Mills' Town Administrator Leighanna Worley via email at lworley@wilsonsmillsnc.org, or phone at 919-938-3885.
