The Lackawanna County Commissioners recognized Throop’s Mayor Joe Tropiak, inside right, for his “Good Works” in initiating a campaign to change the borough’s zip code from 18512 to 18513. This action, if approved, would impact Throop’s property values that are affected by sharing a zip code with other municipalities. This process is lengthy and involves area size, mail volume and other facets. The United States Postal Service will render its decision in July 2020.
