Mailboxes

The NHHOA Board is currently debating whether to get some new mailboxes for the neighborhood.

Anyone have any opinions on this? What do you like or not like about the boxes we have today?

There is >$18,000 in the HOA account. Replacement mailboxes (utilitarian, as we have today) run ~$1000 to $1500 each, plus installation costs. There are four in North Haven.

Pro: some (most?) of the mailboxes are looking pretty shabby, i.e. not enhancing your neighborhood and property values.

Con: we need to keep money in the bank for contingencies.

As far as I know, the mailboxes are made in the USA... so our purchase would constitute a legitimate "Stimulus"!
