The New York State Public Service Commission will launch the new 329 area code for the Hudson Valley region on March 24.
The new area code was first announced last April and was originally slated to go into effect in the third quarter of this year. Residential, business and wireless consumers in the 845 area code region ”“ covering Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties ”“ may be assigned the new 329 area code when they request a new telephone service or an additional line or if they move within the 845 service location.
The price of a call, coverage area or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.
