State Rep. Canty Welcomes Public To District Office For Grand Opening

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — State Rep. Mary Beth Canty (D-Arlington Heights) is welcoming the community an open house at her new district office at 12 E. Northwest Highway. The event is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.

Canty is also a current trustee on the Arlington Heights Village Board, a seat she will remain in until her term ends in April.

"Connecting with community members and learning about the issues that matter most to them is one of my top priorities as a state representative. There are so many state resources available to residents, but many simply don’t know about them," Canty said in a news release. "That’s why I invite everyone to join us at our district office grand opening. I can’t wait to meet even more of our great community and connect them to the support services they need."

Organizers of Thursday's event said attendees will have an opportunity to meet Canty, tour the office and learn about the services available to residents of the 54th district. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, email info.repmbc@gmail.com.
