Senator Browne opens District Offices
Four local locations for easy access to state services

As part of his effort to make state services readily accessible to the people of the 16th Senatorial District, state Senator Pat Browne has opened four District Offices across the tri-county area he represents.

Senator Browne is maintaining three locations previously used by Congressman Charlie Dent when he served as the state Senator representing the 16th District. As a complement to those offices, Senator Browne has added an office in East Allentown.

The main District Office is located in downtown Allentown at 801 Hamilton Street. The office is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The phone number is (610) 821-8468 and the fax number is (610) 821-6798.

Senator Browne's Northampton County Office is located in the East Allen Township Municipal Building, 5330 Nor-Bath Boulevard, Northampton. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The phone number is (610) 502-1567 and the fax number is (610) 502-1570.

Residents of the West End of Monroe County are served by the District Office at the intersection of Routes 115 and 209, Saylorsburg. The office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The phone number is (570) 402-1499 and the fax is (570) 402-0746.

The East Allentown District Office is located on the first floor of 1601 Union Boulevard. The office is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is (610) 821-6813 and the fax is (610) 821-6811.

By contacting any of Senator Browne's offices, constituents can receive state forms for PACE and the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program; state transportation and fishing maps; and, assistance with PENNDOT, welfare and other state-related matters.

"These offices are here for one purpose – to help people receive the state services they deserve," Senator Browne said. "That means helping people on a case-by-case basis. Opening these offices is a major step in my efforts to provide the best constituent services possible for the people of my district.  These district offices provide local residents with easy access to state services and a way to cut through bureaucracy and red tape."
