Chimney Rock Post Office reopens after 17-month closure due to Helene

CHIMNEY ROCK, N.C. (WLOS) — For the first time in nearly a year and a half, customers walked back into the Chimney Rock Post Office on Monday, Feb. 23.

When Hurricane Helene hit in September 2024, it forced many area businesses to close for extended periods.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Postal Service announced the official reopening of the Chimney Rock Post Office, nearly 17 months after the storm. This also came after Congressman Tim Moore called on the USPS to immediately open the village’s post office

Residents said this marks a significant milestone in the small community’s recovery from Helene.
