HAZLETON – U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, PA-11, announced he will open district offices in Carlisle, Cumberland County; Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County; and Sunbury, Northumberland County.

“I’m very pleased to open these new offices and bring my constituent service to the people of the new 11th District of Pennsylvania. During my first two years in office, my constituent service representatives handled more than 4,500 cases, and they resolved about 95 percent of them,” Rep. Barletta said. “The redrawn 11th District is very large, and I want to make sure my constituents don’t have to travel very far to go into a congressional office.”

The new offices will be:

• Cumberland County – 59 West Louther Street, Carlisle, PA 17013. This is the office currently occupied by U.S. Rep. Todd Platts, and shared with state Senator Patricia Vance. The phone and fax numbers of this office will remain unchanged. Phone: (717) 249-0190. Fax: (717) 218-0190;
• Dauphin County – 4813 Jonestown Road, Suite 101, Harrisburg, PA 17109. Phone and fax numbers for this office have yet to be set;
• Northumberland County – 106 Arch Street, Sunbury, PA 17801. This is the office currently occupied by U.S. Rep. Tom Marino. The phone and fax numbers of this office will remain unchanged. Phone: (570) 988-7801. Fax: (570) 988-7805.

It is expected that these offices will open during the week of January 3, 2013; however, they may operate at reduced capacity as contractors install and activate telecommunications services.

“I will continue to partner with state representatives and senators and county and municipal officials to set schedules when my staff can meet with constituents in their areas. I want to bring federal assistance to everyone in the 11th District,” Rep. Barletta said.

The locations, days, and times of those visits are still being finalized.

Rep. Barletta’s Luzerne County office will also remain open. That office is located at 1 South Church Street, Suite 100, Hazleton, PA 18201. Phone: (570) 751-0050. Fax: (570) 751-0054.

Constituents can also reach Rep. Barletta’s Washington, D.C., office to express their thoughts on policy and legislation: (202) 225-6511 or toll-free at (855) 241-5144.

Rep. Barletta’s Washington office address is: 115 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515. Constituents are invited to visit or write; note that correspondence and packages sent to the Capitol complex are subject to delays due to security screening.
