House votes to give Glendale it’s own zip code

admin

Congresswoman Grace Meng’s effort to give Glendale its own zip code passed through the House of Representatives by a voice vote last week. The bill now needs to pass through the Senate and be signed into law by the president.

“For almost thirty years, the residents of Glendale have sought to obtain a ZIP code for their community and the passage of this legislation is a giant step in finally making that happen,” said Meng.

“Residents of Glendale have experienced mail and service related problems due to sharing the 11385 ZIP code with the neighboring community of Ridgewood,” she added. “These problems include medications that were spoiled or not received due to mail processing errors, delays in first responder services to residents in need of care, and inaccuracies with GPS devices. Glendale also deserves to be recognized as its own community. I applaud this vote and I thank my colleagues for supporting it.”

Under the bill, Glendale would have its own zip code by September 30, 2017.
