H.R. 672: To establish new ZIP Codes for certain communities, and for other purposes.

This bill aims to create new ZIP Codes for several communities within the United States. Under the provisions of the bill, the United States Postal Service (USPS) would be required to establish a unique ZIP Code for each of the following locations no later than 270 days after the bill becomes law:

Communities Receiving New ZIP Codes

• Eastvale, California
• Scotland, Connecticut
• Castle Pines, Colorado
• Silver Cliff, Colorado
• Hollywood, Florida
• Miami Lakes, Florida
• Ocoee, Florida
• Urbandale, Iowa
• Franklin, Wisconsin
• Greenfield, Wisconsin
• Village of Caledonia, Wisconsin
• Village of Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin
• Village of Somers, Wisconsin
• Mills, Wyoming

The designated ZIP Codes are intended to streamline mail delivery and enhance the identity of these communities, potentially leading to improved postal services and recognition. This move may also have implications for local governance and planning, as community ties may strengthen with a more defined postal identity.

Next Steps

If passed, the USPS will take necessary actions to implement these changes within the specified timeframe. This may involve adjustments to their systems, such as updating mailing databases and informing residents and businesses in the affected areas about their new ZIP Codes.

Impact on Residents and Businesses

Residents and businesses in these communities may experience changes in how they are identified in postal records, which could affect mailing addresses, online services that utilize ZIP Codes for searching, and more. Additionally, the new ZIP Codes may influence local marketing strategies, demographic studies, and the delivery of services.
