Rep.-elect Zach Mako, R-183rd, who began his term Dec. 1, announced he will continue operation of the district office locations of his predecessor, former Rep. Julie Harhart.

“Rep. Harhart and her staff faithfully served the constituent needs of the 183rd District for more than two decades,” Mako said. “It only makes sense to maintain these offices in the same location and with the same staff. Please do not hesitate to contact either office regarding state-related issues.”

The district offices are located at 2030 Center St., Northampton, and in the Slatington Borough Hall, 125 S. Walnut St., Slatington. Both offices are open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Northampton office can be reached at 610-502-2701. The Slatington office telephone number is 610-760-9805.

Residents also may visit RepMako.com for a variety of state forms and applications, including applications for birth certificates, the PACE and PACENET prescription drug programs and the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, along with numerous PennDOT forms.
