UKIAH, Calif. – Assemblyman Wes Chesbro said he’s moving his district office to a new location in the Ukiah Valley Conference Center on South School Street in Ukiah.

“The times dictate that state government always be on the lookout for ways to reduce costs when possible,” Chesbro (D-Arcata) said in a Tuesday statement.

The new address is 200 S. School St., Suite D, Ukiah, CA 95482. The phone and fax number will remain the same: 707-463-5770 (phone) and 707-463-5773 (fax).

“An opportunity opened up for us to scale back our Ukiah office while still offering the same level of service our Mendocino and Lake County constituents deserve,” Chesbro said. “By moving into the Ukiah Valley Conference Center we cut our office rent in half and also help the city, which owns the conference center. The city has been more than accommodating.”

Chesbro will host an open house at the new location so the public will have an opportunity to become familiar with the new office. The date is yet to be announced.

The Ukiah office services Mendocino and Lake Counties, and will continue to be staffed by Field Representative Ruth Valenzuela.

The new office – in addition to having better parking – is in the same building as State Sen. Noreen Evans’ office making it a sort of “one stop shop” for state legislative business.
