Rep. Johnson cutting budget, consolidating offices

Lawrenceville Highway office in Tucker closing

LITHIONIA – As state and local officials cut back during difficult economic times and as cuts to congressional office budgets are being finalized in Washington, D.C., Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) is reorganizing his district offices to consolidate resources and streamline constituent services.

The Lawrenceville Highway office in Tucker is closing as of Dec. 23. All constituents’ calls and services will be transferred to the main office in Lithonia. The phone number for the office in Lithonia will remain 770-987-2291.

Congressman Johnson’s office is exploring the possibility of one or more satellite offices in the Tucker area, like the one it has in Rockdale County partnering with Conyers City Hall.

“Providing excellent constituent services will remain at the core of our mission,” Rep. Johnson said. “This consolidation will streamline our offices and save taxpayers money but without sacrificing service. We are committed to being good stewards of taxpayers’ resources, and we are making cuts to our budget just like everyone else.”
