“While minimizing the impact to current customers, the Commission must plan for the continuing influx of new residents and businesses to the region — a testament to South Florida’s growing economy,” Andrew Giles Fay, the commission's chairman said in a statement. “The new 645 area code will ensure that customer demand for new lines is met.”
