A bill to require the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Swanzey, New Hampshire.
Plain Language Summary
# Summary of S 2627 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to assign Swanzey, New Hampshire its own unique ZIP Code, rather than sharing one with other areas. Currently, Swanzey appears to be grouped with nearby communities under a shared postal code, and this legislation would change that arrangement. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects residents and businesses in Swanzey, New Hampshire.
A dedicated ZIP Code could potentially improve mail delivery efficiency, help with emergency services response, and make it easier for local organizations and businesses to identify their location. It could also have minor effects on the Postal Service's operations in that region. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Many such localized postal designation bills are introduced but do not advance to a vote.
