If you wish to make an appointment, please do not hesitate to contact the district office at 413-464-5635.

Beginning in March, hours are:

• Mondays, from 9 to 4, at Greenfield Community College's downtown campus located at 270 Main St.

• Tuesdays, from 9 to 4, at Dalton Town Hall located at 462 Main St. except the third Tuesday when they will be from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Dalton Senior Center at 40 Field St.



•  First and third Wednesdays, from 10 to 2 at the Franklin Regional Council of Governments Offices (JWO Transit Center) located at 12 Olive St. in Greenfield.

• Thursdays, from 1 to 4 p.m., at Northfield Town Hall located at 69 Main St. except on the third Thursday, when they will be at the Dickinson Memorial Library located at 115 Main St.

Mark is in his fifth term in the Legislature and currently serves as chairman of the House Committee on Redistricting. His district includes the communities of Dalton, Hinsdale, Peru, Pittsfield, Savoy, and Windsor in Berkshire County, and the communities of Bernardston, Charlemont, Colrain, Greenfield, Hawley, Heath, Leyden, Monroe, Northfield, and Rowe in Franklin County.
