CARROLLTON, GA September 29, 2014 (CBS46) – Residents living on privately owned property that borders the University of West Georgia, called the Village at West Georgia on Cunningham Drive in Carrollton, haven’t gotten their mail in nearly a month according to Al Hamiliton. Hamilton is a non-student who lives in the complex.
Roughly three weeks ago, the Carrollton post office and the property management group began a dispute over who is responsible for putting the mail in the resident’s mail boxes.
In a letter to the residents, the post office explained they considered the townhouse community a dormitory or residence hall.
The letter tells residents, who are not all students at the university, that the mode of delivery for College Students is defined in the Postal Operations Manual.
The manual indicates that for dormitories or residence halls, mail will be delivered in bulk to a designated representative of the school or property, who then becomes responsible for further distribution to students and residents.
