LEGISLATION

Spring Lake Post Office to Be Named After James J. Howard

The House just passed a bill to rename the Spring Lake, NJ post office. Here’s the deal: the postal facility at 2407 State Route 71, Suite 1, will officially be known as the "James J. Howard Post Office."

What's in a Name?

This is pretty straightforward – it's all about honoring James J. Howard. Any official documents, maps, or regulations that mention this post office will now refer to it by its new name (SEC. 1).

Why It Matters

While this doesn't change any postal services or operations, it does have local significance. Renaming a federal building is a way to recognize someone's contributions. Think of it like a permanent tribute – a way for the community to remember and acknowledge a public figure.
