Kentucky’s Public Service Commission will announce today whether or not it will create a new area code for the western part of the Commonwealth. The cell phone boom has resulted in using nearly all of the numbers available with the current 270 area code. The new area code would be designated as 364.

The PSC’s options are either to assign the new area code to all new phone customers or to apply the new area code to just a portion of the region.
