To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15 South Valdosta Road in Lakeland, Georgia, as the "Nell Patten Roquemore Post Office".
This bill names the U.S. Postal Service facility at 15 South Valdosta Road in Lakeland, Georgia, as the "Nell Patten Roquemore Post Office." It updates all official U.S. government references - such as maps, documents, and records - to use this new name for the location. The bill does not create new policies or affect services; it only changes the facility's official designation. The name honors Nell Patten Roquemore, though the bill itself does not detail her contributions.
