The Town of Miami Lakes may soon get its own ZIP Code following requests over at least two decades.
U.S. Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, R-Miami, said Wednesday that the House Oversight Committee had approved a proposed bill giving the Miami-Dade town it "unique" postal Zip Code.
It now goes to the House floor for a vote, said Díaz-Balart in a statement.
“I will continue advocating for the people of Miami Lakes who have waited over 20 years to create a stand-alone ZIP code, and I’m confident this legislation will pass the House chamber," he said.
