Moskowitz Legislation Honoring Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Heads to House Floor for Vote After Clearing Key Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) announced that his legislation to rename the United States Postal Service facility located at 3255 NW 94th Avenue in Coral Springs as the “Nancy Metayer Post Office Building” has advanced out of the House Oversight Committee. The committee’s approval marks a key legislative hurdle and sends the bill to the House Floor for consideration by the full House of Representatives.

“Nancy Metayer devoted her life to serving Coral Springs and making South Florida a better place,” said Moskowitz. “She was a trailblazer, a dedicated public servant, and, most importantly, a deeply kind person who advocated for everyone. We are now one step closer to ensuring Nancy’s legacy is permanently recognized in the community she loved and served.”

Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer was a dedicated public servant and community leader whose work left a lasting impact on Coral Springs and communities across South Florida. She made history as the first Black and Haitian American woman elected to the Coral Springs City Commission and later served as Vice Mayor, where she championed environmental stewardship, public health, sustainability, and inclusive community development.

Before serving in elected office, Metayer led environmental justice efforts across Florida, working on issues ranging from water quality to disaster response. She also served on numerous local and statewide boards and was widely respected for her commitment to improving the lives of others.

Metayer’s tragic passing was a profound loss for Coral Springs and for all who had the privilege of knowing her. Once enacted, the designation would permanently honor Vice Mayor Metayer’s leadership, service, and contributions to the Coral Springs community.
