Westhampton Beach Post Office Gets New Name: Honoring 'Jolly 51' Memorial
This legislation is about one thing and one thing only: renaming a specific federal building. The bill officially designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 170 Main Street in Westhampton Beach, New York, as the "Jolly 51 Memorial Post Office Building." That’s the core of it—a simple, symbolic change that locks in a new name for official records.
The Administrative Switch
For the average person in Westhampton Beach, this means the sign on the door will change, and the official address used by the federal government will be updated. The bill is crystal clear that this new designation must be used in all future federal laws, maps, regulations, and documents. Think of it as a mandatory administrative update: every time the government references that specific location, it must now use the "Jolly 51 Memorial Post Office Building" name (SEC. 1).
Real-World Impact: Mostly Symbolic
If you send a package from this location, your service won't change, the stamps still cost the same, and the hours of operation remain untouched. This bill doesn't alter mail delivery, postal rates, or the number of clerks behind the counter. Its purpose is purely honorific, ensuring that the name "Jolly 51" is permanently associated with this federal facility. For the community, it’s a way to memorialize an individual or group through a highly visible and official designation, which is often a significant civic gesture.
