State Representative-Elect Aaron Bernstine has opened a district office in Ellwood City.
The Line Avenue office will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with additional evening hours on Thursdays until 7 p.m. Residents can contact the office by phone at (724) 752-2120.

“I invite residents to stop by and let us know their thoughts about state government and the issues that impact them every day,” Bernstine said in a statement. “From assisting with applications for state programs to helping resolve an issue with a state agency, we are here to help.”
Services available at the office include:
