Nassau County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta's Mobile Office will be located at Plainview Library on Old Country Road in Plainview, On Friday, March 20, 10 AM to 3 PM. The Mobile Office was created by the county executive to provide residents with information about county government and expand the county's outreach program.

"A primary function of local government is to reach out and to make government available and responsive to our residents in all corners of the county," Gulotta said. "One means by which this can be achieved is to make available direct lines of communication with our citizenry. Our Mobil Office will allow our residents to receive information about the county and seek redress for their concerns in a location convenient to their homes. This is particularly helpful for the disabled or the elderly who may find transportation difficult.

Gulotta said the Mobile Office would also serve as an excellent management tool. "It will permit citizens and county employees alike, to forward inquiries and/or offer their thoughts with regard to the operation of various county departments, facilities, services and programs. This will result in the implementation of greater efficiency procedures and cost cutting measures as well as providing our citizens with a greater voice in the decision making process of county government."

The Mobile Office is a surplus van donated by the Department of Recreation and Parks.
