Newly sworn-in Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., announced he will open seven regional offices across the commonwealth, including one in State College.

The State College office will be located at 329 Innovation Blvd., Suite 226, in Innovation Park, and will open on Monday. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

McCormick opened a Harrisburg office this week and said in a press release that he hopes the regional offices will allow him to get a head-start on serving the commonwealth’s residents.

“I was elected to deliver change for each and every Pennsylvanian, and I am thrilled to hit the ground running by opening every Pennsylvania office within my first two weeks as Senator,” McCormick stated in the release. “By quickly opening these regional offices at the outset of my term, we are demonstrating to Pennsylvanians that my team and I are here to serve them and be responsive to their needs.“

McCormick defeated Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in a narrow race in November, putting an end to Casey’s 18-year-long streak of holding the seat. This is the former hedge fund CEO’s first time serving in a political office.

The other regional offices will be located in Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton.

The State College office can be reached by calling 814-357-0314.
