Bill Overview
Title: To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 16605 East Avenue of the Fountains in Fountain Hills, Arizona, as the "Dr. C.T. Wright Post Office Building".
Description: This act designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 16605 East Avenue of the Fountains in Fountain Hills, Arizona, as the Dr. C.T. Wright Post Office Building.
Sponsors: Rep. Schweikert, David [R-AZ-6]
Target Audience
Population: People using the United States Postal Service facility in Fountain Hills, Arizona
Estimated Size: 25000
- The renaming of a post office building directly affects the local community in which it is located.
- Fountain Hills is a town in Arizona with a population of about 25,000 people.
- The impact is more symbolic and affects those who use or are aware of this post office in Fountain Hills.
- The impact is primarily cultural or related to community identity, as it honors Dr. C.T. Wright.
- Residents who frequent this post office or who are involved in local governance or community activities will be most interested.
Reasoning
- Given the limited budget and the symbolic nature of the policy, the direct impact on Cantril wellbeing scores is expected to be minimal for most of the general US population. The impact would likely focus on residents of Fountain Hills who frequently use this facility or are involved in local community matters.
- The policy's impact is cultural and commemorative, primarily affecting those who value community history and local figures.
- The vast majority of the US population will not be directly impacted by this policy as it is localized to Fountain Hills.
- The Cantril wellbeing scale measures overall life satisfaction, and while this policy might provide a temporary boost in community pride or satisfaction, it is not likely to cause significant long-term changes for most people.
- Residents who frequently use the facility might report a slight increase in wellbeing immediately following the renaming as a source of local pride.
