Commissioners authorize report to congressman seeking ZIP code boundary changes
Summary
Storey County authorized staff to deliver a report to Congressman Ammedday requesting congressional assistance to expand ZIP code 89437 north and 89440 south within the county; staff said the congressman's office requested the report within 30 days.
Storey County commissioners on March 17 authorized staff to prepare and submit a report to Congressman Mark Ammedday requesting congressional assistance to modify ZIP code boundaries so that ZIP code 89437 would expand to encompass the county's northern portion and 89440 would expand to cover the southern portion.
County counsel Laura Mather said the congressman's office requested a report within 30 days in order to pursue the change while the representative remains in office. She described the change as an expansion of existing ZIP codes rather than creating new ZIP codes to reduce friction with the Postal Service. "While we were meeting with the congressman, he said, 'Please have a report to me in 30 days, and we will get working on this before he's out of office,'" Mather said.
The board voted to approve submitting the report; staff said next steps will include coordinating mapping and documentation with the Post Office and the congressman's office and returning to the board with updates.
