State Rep. Milou Mackenzie (R-131) announced the move to 1425 Mountain Drive North, Bethlehem, in a news release Tuesday in which she said it was made necessary due to last year’s redistricting.
“We had the pleasure of serving residents from our Emmaus office for several years. However, because of the redistricting process, I no longer represent that area,” she said. “My staff and I look forward to helping residents at our new location in Lower Saucon Township. We are available to assist them with any of their state-related matters or concerns.”
Mackenzie also announced extended satellite office hours at her Montgomery County office, which is located at 56 W. Fourth St., Red Hill. A member of her staff is available to assist residents there every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and by appointment, she said.
Mackenzie’s main office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the office phone number is 610-965-5830.
