ARUNDEL, Maine — Economic Development Committee member Jen Burrows discussed the need for the town of Arundel to have its own ZIP code at a Board of Selectmen meeting April 22. Arundel currently shares not only a post office but also a ZIP code with the neighboring town of Kennebunkport.

Sharing Kennebunkport’s ZIP code of 04046 causes confusion for UPS and FedEx deliveries, GPS programming, business locations and simply trying to locate a weather report for the town of Arundel from an electronic device, Burrows said. Because both towns share several similar road names and physically share roads such as the Log Cabin Road, using a Kennebunkport ZIP code to find a location in Arundel is nearly impossible.

    So the best Arundel can do is expend time and resources on a zipcode change.

    As for GPS locator, that is total crap statement as I've never had a problem using GPS in Arundel. EVER.

    Pretty obvious that the EDC is a completely useless entity for the town and spending $25k in the process of accomplishing absolutely nothing.
