New office for Hempfield district judge opens
A new office building for Hempfield District Judge Mark Mansour opened for business this week.
The facility on South Greengate Road replaces an office building that will be demolished later this year to make way for construction of a new senior citizen housing complex on property owned by the Westmoreland County Housing Authority.
Mansour’s court office moved just a few blocks away and was built by the housing authority, which leases the property to Westmoreland County.
In the last decade, the county has set out to move its 17 district judges to newly built offices owned by the county.
Work finished last month on the $1.25 million building for District Judge Jason Buczak’s office on Beaver Run Road in Washington Township.
