Express office closed as of May 18

Strong winds tore off a portion of the roof of the Red Oak Express office on May 16, which resulted in water damage all through the main office portion of the building. Remediation efforts are underway, but as of Monday, May 18, the office will be closed for an indefinite amount of time while repairs are made. A timeline for the completion of repairs is unknown at this time. Temporary office locations will be considered.
